@Kiwiphoenix364 the console log is actually limited to 500 lines of output, so you’re missing a few in your list.

For the gumshoes out there, the last letter in the theme is “c”

All of the hints so far:

1. Starts with a “P”
2. 11 letters long
3. Has 4 vowels (could have repeats)
4. Ends with a “C”

OH! If it ends in C, in that case…there were probably thousands with those three parameters…but I’ve updated this for the new hint! (This also removes a bug.) It won’t let me make a release but I could use it as an extension and it lets me use a share link on that (not the actual project though, strangely enough). In the future, I plan on allowing certain parameters to not be filled out and chosing which letters are specified as certain letters or vowels.

My guess is that it is either parallactic or prehistoric (as @arexcl said).

According to one of the GPTs :

> Here is a list of words that meet the given criteria and could be suitable for a game jam theme:
> 
> 1. Patriarchic
> 2. Pandemoniac
> 3. Pancreatic
> 4. Parametric
> 5. Panpsychism // it forgets about the ending ‘C’ 😂
> 6. Pathogenic
> 7. Perisarcinic
> 8. Pentatonic
> 
> These words vary in their complexity and potential thematic associations, so you can choose the one that fits your game jam theme the best.

I have to look up all of them 🫠 🥲

SO far, I’m doing pretty good, tho I am finding it hard to keep it prehistoric and mystical at the same time.
