I was looking at my name all scrunched together and I realized that by removing an “r” and the “l” from my middle and last name, it spells “war enemy.” Which reminded me of that game where you take a big, long word and try to spell as many smaller words as you can using the same letters. So lets do that with my scrunched up name, but first there are some ground rules.
- Time limit of 2 minutes. (Honor system here people, honor system).
- One point for each word and like Boggle, two points for words with more than six letters. (I know you get two points for five-letter words, but I said like Boggle, not an exact replication of the game).
- “War” and “enemy” are my gifts to you. Sad. Those are my first gifts to my faithful readers, but whatever.
- Post your list of words as a comment. But don’t look at other lists until after you are done (which is what I would do, so I’m making it a rule).
OK, have fun! Later, we can take other people’s names and do the same game.
He he he! This was fun! Here is my list.
