you'd better not

Tonight Kevin and I were playing Word Racer (like Boggle, but free and online).
After the timer was up on one of our puzzles, the computer told us that one of the possible words that could have been found in the puzzle was

eelpout, pout n.(marine eellike mostly bottom-dwelling fishes of northern seas)

Indeed.
I can't believe I didn't see it.

Why it was just today, I was discussing the difference between cusks, eelpouts and lota lotas with the woman standing behind me in the checkout lane.
