are all words. And the name of the game is Guess My Word. I'll hit the "I give up" button if it gets too frustrating or my brain simply doesn't know the word.
I jumped on and started playing after the 2 minute "Jeopardy interview" and have been having a blast. Whether it's trying to keep a theme going in my guesses as far as I can or learning a word I've never come across before.
Thanks, Joon and Mike, for the daily 10 minute (or so) brain challenge.
There's a tradeoff: prefixes and suffixes can be useful for navigating the wordspace. If they were not valid for words they would not be available for narrowing down search. I've even used "S" at the end of a word when I think I'm close, even though I strongly doubt the guess will be exact.
Prefixes and suffixes. Grrr.
ReplyDeleteAren't these more like root words/segments?
ReplyDelete@Jon88: Amen. See my guesses 16, 17, 18.
ReplyDeleteI really don't understand what the big deal is.
