None of those, it's one of the many "un" words.
( I had forgotten to write it down and today it took me quite awhile to re-find it in my humongous dictionary, which has pages of "un" words.)

Eruwen, I think you have to be correct. I can't think of many other words that start with "unto", and untold doesn't fit...
Eruwen got it and a lavender Wooly Gem
Nor have I previously used 'untoward' in a sentence.
What word means: "to startle, to shy away; to doubt, to hesitate"
If someone else would like to run this game for a while, I'd like to pass it on, or share it with them. I think my choice of words are becoming too stale or too obscure; maybe someone else could do it better.

Grondy, I would love to take some or all of the load off your shoulders. Just let me know if you want me to help you.

Well Grondy....how about faulter?
None of those; it is a B word.
Princess L’thien, you may do the next bunch if you wish. Do you have ample dust bunnies under your bed for the Wooly Gems?

Bewilder?
And if you ever get tired of it Princess Luthien, I'll take over. I look forward to having you as game master, (even though I will miss, Grondy)

Yes Grondy, I have more than enough dustbunnies
How about boggle?

Boggle it was, I found another chocolate mint Wooly Gem for Princess_L’thien.
And I now turn the thread over to Princess_L’thien for a while, confident that no one will raise the hue and cry for my immediate return.
Please give us the next word Princess L.

The next definition:
