Our team: "THE WORD WOOKIES"
[we are spelling the word, "win"]
Ted, moi, and neighbor and friend, Jennifer Stair. You could have up to 3 people on your team and with Ted and my love of languages, and Jen's profession, a book editor, we had a killer team!! We were able to figure out words due to etymology, (asking for "word origen") and also due to being big readers. Ted made the winning move by spelling "schadenfreude" which is German...he loudly whispered, "I KNOW this one!" when he heard it. Judges asked him how he knew it and he said, "I read a lot of newspapers." He said that he has read it in the Wall Street Journal and he even gave us the word-for-word definition! Wow!! Teddy B!!!!
I'm staying on your team!
forever!
Our big fan and camera man:
Thanks, Nick!!!!
