What makes Valentine's Day words hard to guess in hangman?
Borrowed romance vocabulary. Rendezvous comes largely unchanged from French, so it doesn't follow everyday English spelling rules.
-tion endings are common. Infatuation, adoration and devotion all share this ending, which makes the ending predictable but the front half harder.
Compound romantic words. Matchmaker and lovestruck are both built from two familiar words stuck together โ spotting the join helps a lot.
Words that sound old-fashioned. Betrothed and enamoured both come from older, more formal vocabulary that isn't part of everyday speech.
