I checked and logoparalysis isn't a real word (I guess none of these are?), but it should be. We need a word for the inability to find words.

Lol, "not a real word"? They are right there in front of you in print with a definition and being used. That's literally all it takes to be a real word.

You, your grade school vocabulary, and your abridged dictionary aren't gatekeepers of the lexicon. Dictionaries describe the words people use. Dictionaries absolutely do not prescribe what are real words and which are made up, unless you're French (but even that is a lie). ALL WORDS ARE MADE UP.

Not a real word? Fucking hilarious.

I think more to the point is that there's already a word with this meaning.

anomia
