How I get these emails sent to my inbox is unknown. I have two daily emails which I do not believe I subscribed to, but I rather enjoy them. So I keep them and once-in-awhile I actually pay attention to them. The first is “Word Genius.”
Now this is interesting! The word that popped up yesterday – or the day before – was “picaresque.” I didn’t know it. It refers to a novel about a roguish hero-type. Today’s NYTimes puzzle – 56 across – ”like a novel with a roguish, adventuring hero.” I knew it! But I wouldn’t have known it two days ago? Are these two ventures in cahoots?
The second daily email is “Travel Trivia.” Today’s question was so easy I laughed and didn’t even bother to open for the answer. “Which state has the highest average IQ?”
Well, “Nebraska,” obviously!
