In Other Words
In Other Words | David Paul Garty
2 posts
My ten-year-old niece and many of the residents who stay at the nursing home type facility where I work helped me search through all the words on the following pages. We wrote down all the words we could find within other words. But you may find many more. More than fifty words were found in each of the other words. Many times, one hundred or more words were found in other words contained within these pages. Expand the way you look at the words, or better yet, help someone else expand their way of thinking. Either way, have fun trying. How many words can you find...?
