That’s cool! I got 41, but I think it’s because I am currently teaching my son how to read so I just kept thinking of works that appear over and over in his readers. But of all words I missed AND!

I got 36. One word kind of led to another, and I started skimming a book on the table to look for more that popped out when I got stuck. Is that cheating? I’m going to pass this on to my teaching colleges and see what they make of it. Thanks for the link!

Haha!
I got 38, but I was listening to the candidates debate, and using the words that I was hearing. Isn’t that a hoot?

Robin, I daresay maybe those were the ONLY words used in some recent political conversations…

I got 28 as well. Drew mostly a blank through the last minute.
