Best hangman words

So during school the other day, some friends and I were having a conversation about hangman. We were all trying to come up with the most tricky words as possible. So, I was wondering, which words would you use to stump your opponents?

My favs are:
syzygy (pronounced siz-a-gee)
lynx
fjord
and loquacious

Yeah, ones with U or Y acting as vowels are some of the best

That's mean. You should write down the word in advance.

Just for the record, that is one of the best words ever. I think it's my second favorite word ever.

Way back in the 90's I had a computer game, and the toughest word was otorhinolaryngologist. Try that
