HALEST
There is considerable debate about whether HALEST should have been allowed in Round 6. Dent allowed it under the rule whereby all monosyllabic adjectives can take the -EST prefix, but its actual existence is questioned. This is particularly controversial as, had HALEST been disallowed, Warren would have won the game 87 - 81.
