Question
bonanova
Having depleted our stock of heteronyms and contronyms, we're returning to theme words.
Today's theme is SCORE.
It's a noun, it's a verb and it has a plethora of meanings.
Which means thinking in many directions and contexts.
If you want to see how these work, or if you missed a previous episode, here they are.
Three words - I "Think"
Three words - II "Set"
Three words - III. "Bill"
Three words - IV - silent letters
Three words - V - heteronyms
Three words - Final Chapter contronyms
Three words - Encore performance wandering words
Three words - Associations
Three words - Association w/ rhyming words
Three words - 4x4 Square
And - as life so often does to us - the bar has been raised.
A cream puff or two may be here, but you won't get them all in one try.
Most of all, have fun.
Done! Great job all!
