Word Discoveries
for February – Increasing your Scrabble-ability
What is the antonym to break down, break up, separate, and unmix?
What is the synonym to amalgamate,
combine, comingle, commingle, commix, composite. Concrete, conflate, fuse, homogenize,
immingle, blend, incorporate, integrate, interfuse, intermingle, intermix,
meld, mingle and mix?
The word’s scrabble value is 16 points. Is that a good hint as well?
I am sure that I have messed with your mind
already when asking the first question ‘What is the antonym…?’ let alone ‘synonym’. In fact if I had stopped with the first sentence
about ‘antonyms’ most of my friends would be shaking their heads at this point
in my post.
The words search definition is a great mid-winter
exercise for me. Taking time to think back into the musty old areas of the
mind, the part that rarely gets disturbed is good for me.
Oh I know when you did that in your own mind
you felt uneasy… and you could see the dust settling after you sued the words
that I listed above.
How did this word every get into my thoughts
today?
Well I re-discovered another word when
reading the news this morning. The word
described a Tibetan Monk that walked out in the street and then began shouting
some words of protest. He continued in
this way as he reached for a can of gasoline, dosed himself and his robes, then
he lit a match. Immediately he was
engulfed in flames and was in terrible pain.
He immolated himself. Imagine having enough nerve or guts to
immolate!
It has been a while since I had read of
anyone immolating… because people just don’t do that often. In fact they only
do it once… which is usually enough. And
in 2013 China could really care less a Tibetan Monk immolated at all. It is one
less person to think about.
But going back to my synonym list… I did not
know that you could spell comingle as commingle as well. And I didn’t realise that commingle, being a
9 letter word, would be worth 16 points as well. That is the same value as the other word!
Hmmm?
So have you had enough of waiting for the 16
point word that is now messing your thoughts for today. You mind is totally messed up at this moment
and you definitely need the word and the action that comes with it. You need to immix, slow down and take it
easy. Now does that feel better – or at
least starting to feel better?
Go ahead immix your thoughts. (http://www.allscrabblewords.com/word-description/immix
