My daughter, who says I’m a word nerd, sent me this quiz today. I love words and toy with them all the time, so my interest was piqued.

If it was a game of scrabble then that word would surely make for some decent points.
I pondered a while and after coming up with no answer I cheated and resorted to Google π€ͺπ€ͺπ€ͺ
The answer as it turns out was quite startling!!
Do you know what that word is. If you can answer the question without cheating like I did, I’ll be totally impressed.
I also discovered that at present, linguists estimate that there are just under 41,000 words with nine letters in the English language.
Anyone for scrabble?
I googledβ¦
πππππππ
Ooh! I see what you did thereβ¦ π
π€π€ yes, I thought that would be fun.
I cannot think what the word is, but I would love to play Scrabble, my favorite game.
I love scrabble but can’t ever find anyone to play it with me
I have a friend that came often to play Scrabble but the virus has put and end to that for now. I wish you had someone to play it with.
Yeah, me too. I’d love to join a scrabble group, but my job takes me away too often….
I hope some point in your life you get to play and enjoy.
Thanks. Likewise, I hope things settle down and you get to play again
You’re right about the answer being quite startling!
πππ I couldn’t resist
