Does anyone know what a syzygy is and how to pronounce it?
I know it's some sort of word game but that's about it.

Does anyone know what a syzygy is ...?
Here's a review, Bz. [Don't know how to pronounce it.]
SyZyGy is absolutely the best WORD game you will ever play!! SyZyGy is a spelling and vocabulary game that is FUN for all ages! Play solitaire or up to 6 players, even more if you play teams.
ANYONE CAN PLAY: Essentially, each player makes his or her own crossword puzzle until all 360 tiles are used. Anyone who can read can play. "Peoples words are an expression of what is in their heads; You can learn a lot about people by the words they choose."
Want 2 know more? Here is contact info:

All kinds of superstitions associated with the conjunction Faldage mentioned
Either of two points in the orbit of a celestial body where the body is in opposition to or in conjunction with the sun.
Not to frequent an occurence if I recall correctly.

Depending on what you mean by frequent. The moon is in syzygy about twice a month. One of the superstitions associated with this one is that tides are somehow more extreme during the moon's syzygy.

This is not a superstition--these are the spring (extra high) and neap (extra low) tides that do in fact occur at the moon's syzygy.

Reminds me of the baseball player (they're famous for their superstitions) who was asked if he had any superstitions. He responded that, after hitting a home run, he was always very careful to touch each one of the bases in order.

Yeah, throw me a line--I do have a tendency to take things too seriously. I see all these smart people handing out arcane knowledge and it makes me lose all perspective.
