Brainrefrainagain
Created by: Nosila
Pronunciation: brayn refrayn agayn
Sentence: Her name was Jane and she could not explain why it happened again. It was a pain that was hard to contain. When she heard a strain which should entertain, she instead got a brainrefrainagain. Over and over it would play again, even though she tried to abstain, but in her brain this tune would remain. She tried in vain to remain sane, but her attempts to constrain were a very big drain and soon it nearly drove her insane..."I'm leaving on a Jet Plane..." Oops, I did it again!
Etymology: Brain ( that part of the central nervous system that includes all the higher nervous centers; enclosed within the skull; continuous with the spinal cord; mental ability) & Refrain (the part of a song where a soloist is joined by a group of singers) & Again (over and over;repeatedly)

That "Join" button looks exactly like the "Create" button. There should be some obvious indicator that you're not clicking on the same thing you click on every day. The page looks nearly identical, and I know I'm not the first person to accidentally join a group.
Hey ErWenn, Yes, I think you're right. I have removed the "join group" button. Players are now required to create a unique word before it can be saved. (Plus, as an added bonus, I have taken your name off the creators list for allwise's word, which you "accidentally" joined. Now you can go ahead and create your own word for the day.) Thanks ~ James
