Usually, when '1 Wordie lists' a word and it appears on no lists, it'll be on a profile—but this one was 'first listed by greenapple', on whose profile it isn't. So who's got this one, then?

Greenapple's lists contain only 84 out of a supposed total of 226 words. There are similar discrepancies with a lot of the early Wordies, but I don't know why. (See my comment at the tag kat for another example.)

Yes, VO. I noticed the missing listing on mint chocolate chip. I seem to recall when you list your least favourite word it gives it a vote. Do not list schadenfreude as such if you don't want to add to its popularity. I believe there was also an issue whereby if you removed your least favourite word it did not reduce the wordies listing it count.

I've just found the thread. See schadenfreude for 11 months ago.
