Real Words Without Definition
We're sure about this one.
A plural or a tense of a word that is already obscure, so the whole thing disappears twice over.
logoes is logo plus -es. landslided is landslide plus -ed. furiouser is furious plus -er. clanning is clan plus -ing.
Dictionaries list the base word and expect you to work out the rest. That works for a reader and not at all for a lookup script.
