The Right Word
Attention logophiles: This fast-moving word brain game
will test your vocabulary and memory. First, you're challenged to spell
a word after being given just its definition and the first two letters
as clues. Then, you're asked to come up with three words in two
categories that begin with the same letter—for example, name three trees
and three articles of clothing that begin with "C." Finally, you're
quizzed to remember the words from the first part.
