A Jos game is a lesser-used term coined by Gevin (and a better version of Rhys Benjamin's terminology of "DC Max") is a game that did not beat Dictionary Corner, but equally could have been beaten. For example, if an otherwise max game was spoiled only by a DC beater, it is considered a "Jos game". The name "Jos" comes from a play on words of Jos and Max Verstappen, two Formula One drivers.
Hypothetical example of a Jos game
Loosely based on Episode 2749, the only word that C1 fails to spot here is FUGISES in Round 7, which also defeated Dictionary Corner.
