NUDGE - What's The Good Word 2
Did you notice who placed it? NOTE: On the original puzzle I changed the date to 4/10/2014, but I can not change the date back more than a year, so now the date doesn't help.
Hasbro, the company behind the game of Scrabble, held a contest for fans to vote for the first word to be added to the official Scrabble dictionary in nine years. The contest began with 16 competitors. It was the first time that there was a public vote for a word to be added. The 16 words voted on were (1) luckbox; (2) booyah; (3) phablet; (4) emotypo; (5) zen; (6) woot; (7) bestie; (8) adorbs; (9) hangry; (10) nowish; (11) retweet; (12) ew; (13) bitcoin; (14) geocache; (15) cosplay; and (16) lifehack.
So from the above list, can you figure out which word was added to the Scrabble dictionary on April 10, 2014? You have 16 guesses, but your 1st guess should be right. If not, with all the above information, google IS your friend.
I say in hint that hubby says it is first word I think of every morning, but it is not. God and devotions come first and then the good word. LOL!
