Given a graph $G=(V,E)$ and a set of vertices marked as filled, we consider a color-change rule known as zero forcing. A set $S$ is a zero forcing set if filling $S$ and applying all possible instances of the color change rule causes all vertices in $V$ to be filled. A failed zero forcing set is a set of vertices that is not a zero forcing set. Given a graph $G$, the failed zero forcing number $F(G)$ is the maximum size of a failed zero forcing set. An open question was whether given any $k$ there is a an $ell$ such that all graphs with at least $ell$ vertices must satisfy $F(G)geq k$. We answer this question affirmatively by proving that for a graph $G$ with $n$ vertices, $F(G)geq lfloorfrac{n-1}{2}
floor$.
