20.8 - Nickels & Dimes - Ann A's Task: Codenames

Lots of staying at home with family means more board games! One of our new favorites, ‘Codenames’, involves thinking of a code word which links a group of unrelated words.

For this task, read one book with a title (subtitles excluded) consisting of at least two words you can ‘link’ by forming a new word using letters in the title. The new word must be at least three letters long and you must use an EQUAL number of letters from each title word. Letters may be in any position, but all words in the title must be used. Numbers (non-ordinal) in the title should be ignored.

REQUIRED: Specify the ‘linking’ word. This word must be found in dictionary.com

Examples:

Where the Crawdads Sing
word that can be made: wire
Where thE cRawdads sIng
1 letter used from each word in the title.

Farm City: The Education of an Urban Farmer
word that can be made: cart
fARm CiTy
2 letters used from each word in the title.

44 Scotland Street
word that can be made: screen
SCotlaNd stREEt
3 letters used from each word in the title, number ignored.

Good to know. On the same subject, I really liked Nothing to Envy: Ordinary Lives in North Korea.
