At the grocery store the other day, I finished my portion of the shopping early and waited a few minutes in the deli for John to finish his. I have no problem keeping myself entertained in a waiting situation--I'll people-watch and make up stories about them or pull a puzzle book out of my purse and solve a syllacrostic or cryptogram. That day I decided to make up my own game--the Meijer deli has the word "Market" in big script on the wall, so I thought I'd see how many words of three or more letters I could make out of the word "market." Here's what I came up with:
3-letter words:
are, ark, arm, art, ate
ear, eat, era
mar, mat, met
ram, rat
tar, tea
4-letter words:
kart
make, maker
mare, mart
mate, mater
meat
meta
rake
rate
ream
take, taker
tame, tamer
tare
teak, team, tear
term
tram
Later, I saw that I missed "mark" (somehow) and "trek."
Do you make up games to entertain yourself?
