I usually have trouble with "Y."

lara, Z was alway hard for me

yep, z, q and x are the hardest for me.

For Y I'm thinking of "Yellow dress". I have quite a few of them on my TBR. And for X I'm thinking "Six-pack". Lol! Queen should work for Q right? But for Z the only thing I can think of is zebra and where would I find a book with a zebra? I need to think more about that one xD

Last year, Miss Sandy did zillion of snowflakes last year. And Miss Hayley did "zooming down the road," while Miss Jenn did "zoomed in eye."

Miss Lisa Kay impressed us with "xanthous tinted shoreline" .

That's some good ones!

I Googled "words that start with" and the letter I wanted. All those online Scrabble dictionaries are a great help. They give you lists of words as well as a definition. Of course, they are sorted by number of letters, but that is fine by me.

i hadn't even thought of that!! I usually go the opposite way, I look at all the items on the cover, and then use the thesaurus to come up with a description that fits. Your way sounds less complicated, Lara.

Finally got around to updating my list. Post 30 is updated. I think it's going to be harder now, as I seem to come up with the same letters really easily, and I made a point to do most of the hard ones first. Still need an X...

Whoa, Lara. 15? You go, woman!
