#Microblog Monday 569: Wordiply

I blame Dear John for adding another game to my daily game sessions. Wordiply is from The Guardian. You get a few letters in a row, and you need to make the longest word possible that uses those letters in a row.

For instance, if the letters were CHIC, you could make CHICken. But you could also make hierarCHICally, which is 14 letters vs 7 letters. “Hierarchically” would win over “chicken.” The point is to make the longest word possible and when you think you have, reveal how close you are to the actual answer.

I am terrible at this game and usually settle too early. But it’s also pretty clever and not timed, so I like that I can think about it while I go about the rest of my day.
