Wasn't meaning to suggest 30 shorter words were impossible for the previous longer word CC, but let's go with the flow...

(So we're going for 9 words with this new one, I take it.
Also, you should've gone with the BrE spelling "encyclopaedia", to give us an extra "a". ;) )

3. Denial

^ HA! That's interesting! How've we done it, before? I guess we just go with the spelling of the person who posts the word?

Actually, I think it's 8 words, as my "encyclopedia" would've been #22 (+ 8 = 30)----well, 9, including mine, I guess.

@DH: Oh, I was thinking people were complaining, so I thought I'd cut it off. That's fine----whatever.

4. Panel

Yeah, 9 including yours. So whoever comes up with #9 should make a new long word on the next page. And yeah, it makes sense for the person who posts a new word to choose which spelling to use.
