We'll have to tell Bona that he can only post these puzzles when we're already online. And, then send us messages to let us know that they're there. I'm sure he wouldn't mind jumping through our hoops, hehehehe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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!
