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…
