Join in with the "Word of the Day".

Leave a comment in which you use the day's selected (not "select") word in some way. You may simply write a simple sentence, a flash fiction story, a poem, you decide.

Or, if you want, discuss how you first heard the word or ponder the meaning. Remember, words are a game to be played, not just a vocabulary to memorize.

******************************************

Tess joined the coven, but she knew it was a covin. None of the women were witches, though many were nasty enough to be called by the similar-sounding canine epithet.
