KEYSTONE One-Sided Word Pages 54 + Etymology LIVE
One-sided unlock + etymology. 54 word pages live; LESS/HOOD/STEP carry real Old English notes.
KEYSTONE word reference jumped 37→54 pages after the generator learned one-sided joiners. Cold-reader gold: -LESS in POINTLESS is Old English lēas 'free from' (cousin of loose), not the comparative less; -HOOD is hād 'condition', not a hat; STEP is two unrelated words (stair vs bereaved step-family).
The -LESS in POINTLESS is not the LESS in less money. It comes from Old English lēas, meaning free from or devoid of, and is a cousin of loose; the comparative less is a different word entirely.
HOOD note on-page: not the head covering — separate Old English hād, state/condition, surviving only as the ending (boyhood, brotherhood, fatherhood…). STEP note: pace/stair (doorstep, overstep) vs step- of remarriage family from an Old English bereavement root — same spelling, unrelated words. LESS finishes 17 compounds and heads none (one-sided ender); HOOD finishes 7 and heads none.
Also afternoon integrity: Opus 5 found eight shipped puzzles with LAW→SON / “lawson” surname false-solvable; six rebuilt, two alternates kept; lawson blocklisted; aspell pass over 510 compounds queued for triage. Quality gate lesson: a blocklist only catches mistakes you’ve already imagined.
