I ran across this on social media and was fascinated. (Guess it’s good for something, right?)
Perhaps you’ve heard of this, but I hadn’t.
A Kangaroo Word is a word/synonym within a word (my definition). For instance, the word chicken. Chicken contains a synonym for itself-cHickEN. That’s part of the definition, as you can see from the graphic taken from the website I explored. I might add also that the letters of the synonym within the word must be in order, but they need not be grouped together.
Other kangaroo words are: MAscuLinE, BLOssOM, and hoNOuraBLE.
Fun, huh? Go here to find more:
I tried to come up with my own, and so far, I’ve come up with PUPpy.
TKZers, maybe you can jazz us with a few of your own! Let’s have some fun…
Sounds like it out to be a Jeopardy! category…
Hey, George, I think you’re right…
I just thought of another kangaroo word: Mountain!
Isn’t this fun? 🙂
I’d never heard of that before either. I’m sure at some point one will randomly jump out at me now. LOL!
Hi Brenda.
Yup. You’re right. Yesterday, I was reading a novel by a favorite author (one of our own TKZers, I might add) and I ran across a couple. It seems they’re everywhere now.
Have a good one!
New to me, also, Deb. Fun. But first I need more coffee! 😉
Good morning, Debbie. I hope you check back in after that coffee.
Here’s an easy one for you. I’m pretty sure lots of folks share this with you and me.
Our own name! Debra, Debbie, Deborah, Deborah . . . we are synonyms unto ourselves! Ha!
Have a great Friday…
Morning Deb. I love word games. There is at least one in my name: Elaine, Laine.
Thanks for the word fun.
Hi Elaine! You’re welcome…
Once you get going, the words just flow in from somewhere. Such as: Ammunition just popped into my head. 🙂
Have a good day!
And here’s another (I like this one!):
CommUNITY!
I love word games. I read the post just before we were leaving to meet friends for breakfast (eat), and I was reading all the road signs on the way to the restaurant (eat) to try to come up with something.
Fun.
Hi Kay!
Did you have a good breakfast? Hope so!
Let us know if you come up with one, okay?
Re-read my comment. 🙂
