Cooperative Zendo

Not the kind with cardstock and pawns. Mostly play by post Mafia so far.

Zendo is a proper noun that came from a foreign word which I think counts as a loanword. In any case, I have no reason to think it would give especially much information.

been
bean
beer
beet
beat
bead
bear
bare
bark
soap

Edit: Fixed the link to not be the disambiguation page; also my thoughts on this are “something about vowels maybe? Similar words seem to have a higher rate of acceptance but that might be illusion?”

I'm giving the hint on my own initiative: length is significant. (For your convenience, the lists are now sorted by length.)

All the yesses have even length; if that holds true then the chance of an even-length word counting is about 10%.
