Welcome to the Guess My Word blog. This is a place to discuss the words of the day chosen by Joon and Mike. This paragraph is here mostly as spoiler space. Here are today's words:
I'm predicting a low, low number of correct guesses for Mike's word today. I quit after 19 guesses, and even though I typed in 'arqu..' the word did not pop into my mind, though I knew the word and its definition when I revealed it.
I can't even go as far as Elaine--I've simply never seen that word. It's definitely one of the more obscure words I've seen in this game. I'm not sure why anyone who wasn't an expert in obsolete weaponry would have any reason to know it...

ReplyDeleteARQUEBUS? Really?
ReplyDeletei have seen it before, but was still stumped. curiously, my dictionary lists it as a variant of harquebus, which i've never seen.
ReplyDeleteHARQUEBUS is the only spelling I've ever encountered, perhaps a dozen times in my life, but what do I know?
