April 6, 2011Hey!
Every Wednesday morning starting around 9:30am, @Wordnik gives out clues for a secret word on wordnik.com that has a pronounciation by “hap_e_wordnik” (see screen shot below). They give out 3 or 4 clues, each of which describes a different definition that the uncommon or obsolete word has. As soon as someone gets the right word, the game ends. If no one gets it by the end of the clues, they give a *BONUS CLUE* which usually has quotations around letters, meaning the word is an anagram of those letters.

August 24, 2010I’ve been going to Spelling Bee every week but 2 since the beginning of the year. Robert has won twice. I won 2nd place a few weeks ago.
Tonight was my night.
1st: can’t remember
2nd: duplicate
3rd: adventitious
4th: cromlech (I spelled it wrong but everyone also got out)
5th: ginkgo
6th: diptych
A diptych is like a triptych, but with 2 instead of 3. DUH.
Results: I AM AWESOME
Prizes:
-$10 gift certificate
-picture of me on the wall
-shirt that says I am champion (picture to come at later date, the only had xxlarges)
