    3. Do you do any word type of games?
    4. Is there a word you have trouble saying or spelling?
    5. What word describes how your day is going?

    Do you have a nickname?
    Jen - I actually used it professionally for three years as there was another Jennifer where I worked

    Is there a word/phrase you often say? (If it's a vulgarity, just add a symbol in there somewhere to keep it clean)?
    Darn. That's usually as close to bad language as I get unless something bad has happened then it's sh*t or similar

    Do you do any word type of games?
    Nope not any more

    Is there a word you have trouble saying or spelling?
    Spelling - a heap of them to be honest. I always love when my spelling is so bad, spell check can't even help me.
    Saying - comradiere

    What word describes how your day is going?

    Surprising - I had a phone screen for a job that closed yesterday at 9.15am this morning. Will find out later today if I'm being put forward to the assessment day next week. Also creative, I've somehow found a bit of mojo while playing around a bit with my stash. Seemed as soon as I stopped putting "pressure" on (I wasn't really but your mind can interpret things), creativity flowed.

    1. Do you have a nickname? no
    2. Is there a word/phrase you often say? "Look. Listen." (to students)
    3. Do you do any word type of games? I LOVE word games. I've loved Scrabble and Scattergories since the 1990's. My favorite phone game is Word Wow Around The World, and I play Words With Friends, plus I have a couple of word find and crossword type games on my phone.
    4. Is there a word you have trouble saying or spelling? Not currently, but my husband teased me about a couple of words I mispronounced. One I remember is foliage. I think I said it like it was spelled foilage. I'm one of those avid readers who sometimes comes across words in books without having heard them pronounced aloud. A childhood friend laughed at me when I said the name "Gretchen," while telling her about reading the Judy Blume book with that character.
    5. What word describes how your day is going? ending

    1. Do you have a nickname? Lots- my family when I was little called me Amos, which then turned into A-mouse and then my aunt still calls me Mouseky. lol
    2. Is there a word/phrase you often say? (If it's a vulgarity, just add a symbol in there somewhere to keep it clean)? We were just talking about this with my mom & sister- I always say "nobody cares" to my daughter because she's in that age where she cares TOO much and I try to remind her that all the other kids her age are way into their own selves to have opinions about her. I even text a nobody cares sticker to her all the time. My mom says it's mean, but honestly, I think kids these days need to not be the center of attention and my particular kid needs to care less about most things (I wonder where she got her type-A people pleasing from!?!? ;) )
    3. Do you do any word type of games? LOVE wordle- we have a competition in our family. We also play scrabble a lot too
    4. Is there a word you have trouble saying or spelling? I'm at the age where words LOOK wrong, but are spelled right. lol I am a grammar police & HATE when things are misspelled though.
    5. What word describes how your day is going? Well... for lack of a better term... Sh!++y. Literally home sick from work since I cannot stay off the toilet. There's a tummy bug going around not only our family, but our hockey boy's team too... fun times.

    Do you have a nickname? Nope. Karen is bad enough. :giggle

    Is there a word/phrase you often say? "Do you have your hearing aids in?" to my hubby. Ha ha! I need to know if I should shout or not. Ha ha!

    Do you do any word type of games? Not lately. I used to have a couple that I loved where they'd give you a handful of letters and you had to try to make as many words out of them as you could. I should find a new app like that again.

    Is there a word you have trouble saying or spelling? Spellling.... halleluiah (I have to look it up Every. Single. Time)

    What word describes how your day is going? Great!

    1. Do you have a nickname? Nope
    2. Is there a word/phrase you often say? (If it's a vulgarity, just add a symbol in there somewhere to keep it clean)? Holy Guacamole comes to mind. When we shop or look at outfits, my DD and I say "that's cute" a lot which my hubby loves to then go "that's SO CUTE!" which always makes us laugh. I did say to my DD recently that we really need to come up with some better - or at least more varied - phrases to describe stuff. :giggle
    3. Do you do any word type of games? I do all the NYT word games every day - the crossword (well depending on how much free time I have, I don't always do the crossword), spelling bee, wordle and connections.
    4. Is there a word you have trouble saying or spelling? Nothing specific comes to mind.
    5. What word describes how your day is going? terrific! Going to a spring training baseball game with my son this afternoon. He's home for spring break.

    1. Do you have a nickname? Jenn. lol! Very original. I've had other silly nicknames. If anything now, Jenn or some that have known me a long time call me by my maiden name.

    2. Is there a word/phrase you often say? (If it's a vulgarity, just add a symbol in there somewhere to keep it clean)? Not really. I don't use curse words usually, so my equivalents are usually picked up by others. lol! I use turd mainly.
    3. Do you do any word type of games? I love Wordle, and any word game really. It's my jam. If anyone plays any, please share with me!
    4. Is there a word you have trouble saying or spelling? Not really... I have a little trouble typing a few words. My fingers try to move too fast. I do stumble on saying "applicable." lol!
    5. What word describes how your day is going? Slow, lol! Happy though.

      Jan...that's it. My full name is Janice :)
    2. Is there a word/phrase you often say? (If it's a vulgarity, just add a symbol in there somewhere to keep it clean)?
      Lots of words that probably need a symbol. Lately it seems to be WTF quite often.
    3. Do you do any word type of games?
      I play Wordle, Letter Boxed, Connections, Mini Crossword, and Strands every day with my morning coffee.
    4. Is there a word you have trouble saying or spelling?
      Hmmm I'm sure there are, but I can't think of one right now lol

    1. Do you have a nickname?- kids call me Mumsy, husband - Olgypops (and some of my friends pick it up from him)
    2. Is there a word/phrase you often say? (If it's a vulgarity, just add a symbol in there somewhere to keep it clean)? - I don't think so, will have to ask around... Ok, recently I have been saying "Is it really happening?" a lot
    3. Do you do any word type of games?- very rarely scrabble and crossword puzzles (in 3 languages), but every day Duolingo learning Spanish, I think of it as a game with benefits
    4. Is there a word you have trouble saying or spelling? - saying no, spelling I have started mixing up Italian with Spanish, so my Italian spelling at the moment is patchy (especially in the evening when I am tired, and start putting in Spanish words that I guess are at the moment stored "closer to the exit")
    5. What word describes how your day is going? - hopeful (but also tired, as it's five to midnight) so thank you for the game, and good night

    1. Do you have a nickname? When I was growing up it was B.J. (Becky Jo). At my last job I got called Becks and Bectra. At my current job, my colleague sometimes calls me Bucky because that's what her 2 year old called me. I like that one because my dad was called Uncle Buck.
    2. Is there a word/phrase you often say? I made up my own expletive: oh, fudgesicle snot!
    3. Do you do any word type of games? I love word games, but I'm not currently playing one regularly. I like Boggle.
    4. Is there a word you have trouble saying or spelling? I know HOW to spell this word, but can never remember which one I use in my industry: principle or principal (in financial terms, it's principal...but it never looks right to me!)
    5. What word describes how your day is going? Smoothly
