Hi Great Spellers! Frozen words didn't make it into VT's dictionary. If you guess 3 times then surrender, words like bulwarks, expugnable, sunshiny, etc. are revealed, but if you type them into the thesaurus, they aren't recognized as real words. TAINTAWORD! If the blank comes up I guess a taintawerd and sometimes get it right! Often the surrendered word works at the next freeze, but not always. I guess VT will have to catch the taintawerds at the next revision--for what it's worth, I sent a list--maybe thirty words. I teach literature at UNC Wilmington. Several of my granddaughters call me "Nanny Woo"--hence my original nickname. The word "misled" was one I used to pronounce with a long i--my-sulled--sounds worse somehow with my pronunciation. For my son, the word was "effigy" which he made sound like the South Pacific island: e-Fiji. If you gotta be burned.... I love words: their allusiveness, their slippery elusiveness, their mystery, their power, their pitiful insufficiency.
