I play the entire day by day NYT video games in hopes that it’ll assist my failing reminiscence. I can typically do the mini crossword in underneath a minute. I can end the Monday crossword with out hints. I can wordle like a bad-ass and I can often get Connections now that I’ve realized it’s mainly all trick questions. I may even do the straightforward sodoku in underneath 10 minutes which I assumed approach a brag till I appeared it up and apparently most individuals can do it in 4. However I can by no means get to “genius stage” within the spelling bee sport…the one the place you attempt to make up probably the most phrases from the letters you’re given, principally as a result of I don’t have the chance to plead my case. Yesterday I guessed 14 phrases, however didn’t get credit score for a number of extra, together with:
My meemaw all the time used to say, “Come dig into these yummy vittles” and I notice that “vittles” is extra generally used than “vittle” however I feel it’s implied that vittles = a couple of vittle and so this could completely be accepted.
Okay, granted…”titty” is the extra acceptable spelling however I feel all titties ought to be celebrated. Additionally, the dictionary says “tittie” is one other phrase for sister, and sure, it additionally says that was again within the 1600s in Scotland however my mother is Scottish/Irish so I feel I ought to at the very least get half credit score.
Y’all. Simply because you may’t discover it doesn’t imply it doesn’t exist.
PS. Spellcheck is telling me that “meemaw” just isn’t a phrase both and is like, “Did you imply ‘merman‘?” No, spellcheck. A merman didn’t inform me to eat my vittles. Omg, I fucking hand over.
