Mix 'N Match Alphabet Challenge
Duration:
5/1/2015 - Til Done!

Rules: Choose a different letter from each challenge. If you haven’t done any of them before, you have a lot to choose from. If you’ve already completed some - or all! - of the letters for a certain challenge, you may repeat your favorite word, or choose a different one this time around.

Also, you don’t have to do all 26 letters for this challenge. You may decide on a level and choose just the letters you want (like, your name! or your initials, or the last names of a few of your favorite authors). Then pick words from the different challenges to spell that start with the respective letters to your chosen words.

Whether it is an herb, animal, or a texting acronym you select, read books with titles, series names, authors (first or last name), character (first or last name), that begin with letters that correspond to letter of the herb or spice you choose. You may ignore the indefinite and definite articles (a, an, the, etc.).
