Feel free to send me one. smile
I don't have very many so far and am hoping for more...it was a choice between yegg and kibitka and I thought (perhaps incorrectly) that yegg was the more unusual of the two...

Ah now that would be telling :p ...I think I'll keep it for another round (as the current one isn't going so well maybe kibitka will make a better word? Don't suppose I could change it now...)

As Bran indicated, it is a busy time of the year.
Just give it time, and keep reminding people.

yegg was a wwftd pre-2002, and also gets a OneLook score of 17 - I'm not sayin', I'm just sayin'.

So you already know...you could always add a daffynition? Or i could change it to kibitka which no-one seems to know...I seem to have made a bad decision there!

ps is 17 a good score?

Hey, Yegg is a good word. Weird but good, and many of us
were not here in 2002, probably the majority.

back in the day when I regularly posted hogwash words, I wouldn't use anything with a OL score more than two(2), and I strove for zero! but that was me searching for really, really obscure words, which I also used for my wwftd site.
YMMV.

Being new to OL scores, what are they and who decides them?
