Makenna Knows Words
Kristi and Kylee went shopping tonight. After I put Landen to bed Makenna asked me to play a game. We decided on UpWords, a game at which I have been known to excel. As we began to play I told Makenna that she can't expect to be an expert at the game right away and that it would take her a while to learn how to play well.Makenna is eight years old. She beat me. 163 to 148.
She made her best move with her last letter. Shortly after I told her that I didn't see anything she could do with her 'U" she came up with a double word move, forming both HUM and US.
And if anyone sees anywhere I could have played my leftover 'E' or 'O' please let me know. The 'G' in GARB was the only tower that was maxed out.Good job Makenna. And maybe you're right - I might be the one who needs the practice.

Couldn't you have used the "O" under the G at the end of "POOPING" to spell "GO"?
Nevertheless, any game of Upwords that uses "pooping" as one of the main building blocks is a classic in my book!
'GO' would have worked Jamie. That's obviously a little to complex for my skills, though. :) Makenna still would have won.
I thinking POOPING started out as POUT. Then I changed it to POOP and Makenna later added the 'ING.'
Thanks for the find with the move for 'O'.
I just realized that you meant this post...UPWARDS. When you said Upwards I thought you were talking about basketball for some stupid reason. Yes, I read this post.
I challenge you to a game of Upwards. But I am not playing with Makenna.
Also...just to be show off...you could also use your o to make coy into the word coo - which is in the dictionary as "1 : to make the low soft cry of a dove or pigeon or a similar sound
2 : to talk fondly, amorously, or appreciatively "the family cooed over the baby"
