We just had a game where SCIENCEFICTION was the clue (disregarding the annoying combining two words into one word issue I have, they did the same thing for OUTERSPACE!), and our game ended in a tie, which lead to us having to guess the word. My team guessed SCIFI as the word and the game marked it as wrong. Should this have been marked as a correct guess? The intent was there, and the word guessed is a recognizable shortened form of the actual word with almost no wiggle room to confuse it with something else.
The opposing team guessed SPACE for OUTERSPACE and the game marked it as incorrect also, but that seems further from the correct guess than ours. I do recognize the intention is there, though it lacks the precision of a correct answer.
Thoughts?
