| Aug 15, 2021 at 23:22 | comment | added | bobble | I’m voting to close this question because without better defining "word" or "common name" it turns into an ill-defined, open-ended puzzle (and open-ended puzzles are off-topic as of May 2019) | |

| May 4, 2016 at 14:12 | comment | added | Alex | @Carl Yes Carl that would be more appropriate scoring as it was my intention to get more "looping" word then just a long word that loop once. | |
| May 4, 2016 at 2:58 | comment | added | Carl | @Adeptus I was wondering if I should reword that... "ate" is an infinite loop of three letters, so it's worth 3 times the amount of iterations, 3 squared. Plus the 4.5 makes it 13.5. Again, it's just an example of my hypothetical. | |
| May 4, 2016 at 2:19 | comment | added | Adeptus | @Carl "Maybe each iteration of an infinite loop is worth the amount of letters" - each iteration of an infinite loop? So a 3-letter word that loops infinitely would be worth 3x infinity? | |
| May 3, 2016 at 23:10 | comment | added | Carl | @Alex I mean that the rules should be such that "ate" is worth more than "denunciate". Maybe each iteration of an infinite loop is worth the amount of letters. Idk, just a thought. | |

| May 3, 2016 at 20:34 | comment | added | Carl | Imho, a short word that loops infinitely should be worth more than a long word that loops once or twice. | |

| May 3, 2016 at 15:51 | comment | added | Alex | thanks all, I should add a rule to prevent these | |
| May 3, 2016 at 15:46 | comment | added | Zandar | Technically "antidisestablishmentarianism" is worth 28 points. You might want to set a minimum number of rotations or lower/eliminate the weighting for length, or even without this loophole the question will become "what's the longest word you can put 's' in front of". | |
