Everytime I try to click on words in the new Shorter to try to get the answer I am getting one of those pages that tells you it's unobtainable. Can anyone else get on to it?

Thanks to samf1971 who found "Biosecurity" is listed in the Independent as a new word in the new shorter Oxford.

ans - Biosecurity

Nope, same for me, I've looked through all the articles & press release and can't see which word it is?

I think the answer is Biosecurity - following excerpt from the Independant:

New entries to the sixth edition of the Shorter Oxford English Dictionary, out this month, have carried a heavily green tinge. "Biosecurity", "carbon footprint", "carbon neutral", and "Chelsea tractor" have all made their debut.

I agree as if you put in the words into the search box on the Oxford site it only puts you back to the quiz except for biosecurity which it puts you onto a book listing words that seem to be in vogue in any year and "Biosecurity" is listed for 2005!

After typing the above went to the Independent link and it lists biosecurity. You are brilliant.
