       A little linguistic puzzle that I thought of. I'm not really much of a linguistics person, but I know a lot of people here are.The challenge ist to make a chain of words, where the source word is translated from language A to language B, and then has a different meaning in language A. Then the output word is again translated from language A to language B.For example: English -> Germandiverse -> diversdivers -> Taucher*innenTaucher*innen -> (not a word in English, so can't be translated to German)In the example, the chain length is two.If a chain causes a loop, then you get points for each 'connection' that doesn't include the one that causes a loop.There's probably a bunch of other edge cases I haven't thought about because, again, I'm not a linguist, or even a language nerd.Oh and please don't use computers to try and programmatically find the best solution. That's boringggg.Longest chain wins.Good luck~

       @LilaHexe oh it's not a exact match but the "Cartabon being an Esquadra in Catalan, and Escuadra being a Cartabó in Catalan" situation would be such a nice "glitch" for this game
