I like words, so I’ve picked a different word for each day (some rarer and weirder than others), shared its definition, and… that’s it. You get to decide how it connects to your pick for the day and the explanation can be as creative and/or convoluted as you like. No link is too tenuous, no choice too obvious. Go crazy! Or don’t! I’m not the boss of you!
As always, try to play something different, feel free to catch up but don't jump ahead (unless you really have to for some reason), etc...
