One of the words I got was "unsubsidized" which appears in pretty much every online dictionary I've looked at, although it is red squiggle underlined in the comment box.

Yeah my first word was "carseat" [1] with the definition "the seat of a car". While I guess "carseat" all one word isn't technically a word, I would say it's perfectly cromulent outside of an English class.

tamarino

Personally I like to serve my tamarino with a side of anchovies.

Bug report: I hit “Microtissue”, a word that does exist, and its definition is incorrect ;-) ( https://www.thisworddoesnotexist.com/w/microtissue/eyJ3IjogI... )

Oh no, it must have missed my blacklist. It's supposed to give a little "this word probably exists" when that happens. It's surprisingly hard to determine if a word already exists: https://www.thisworddoesnotexist.com/w/tissue/eyJ3IjogInRpc3...

Is it comparing to a list of common bigrams? It seems to come up with those a lot.
