It's Wednesday!
Okay, it looks like Steemians used their thinking caps this week.
We have a winner!!
In case you missed last week here are the clues one more time;
1. It is a 10-letter word
2. It is associated with words blank, square, black, white, and grid
3. It is a compound word
4. You get three major types
And the answer... CROSSWORDS
One of Steemian friends, @manuelhooks wrote an excellent post about CROSSWORDS.
Don't miss reading this post.
Some interesting facts I'm sure you didn't know;
- World Crossword Day is celebrated on 21 December each year
- Crosswords were banned during the second world war as they were used for sending secret messages
- Crosswords lovers are known as "Cruciverbalists"
- The largest crossword consists of 28,000 clues and 91,000 squares
Congratulation to our winner, @imohmitch who won 4 STEEM.
Time for your next game!
The game is exactly like last week;
The game “I spy with my little eye” is sort of a detective game. The “spy” is the person who sees something and the rest of the players must then guess what the spy is seeing.
Of importance, it must be something that you can see and not something you can feel like an emotion.
BUT, “I spy with my little eye” is so much more than just a spy game;
- It is a thinking game
- It teaches you how to use your logic and reasoning and
- It grows your vocabulary
The contest
For today I am going to give you the letter with which the word starts plus 4 points or “clues” which you can take into consideration to figure out what the word can be.
Ready or not… let’s learn, play and win!
I spy with my little eye something that begins with the letter “J”.
Clues:
1. It is a 10-letter word
2. It is a compound word
3. It combines two tools
4. Operators wear protective gear
How to participate?
- You can reply to this post by posting your word or you can write an article about your word
- You can only enter once
What is up for grabs?
The first correct answer will take home 2 STEEM this week.
The word and the winner will be announced next week and if there is no winner the prize will carry over until there is a winner.
Until next week, keep guessing!

I am glad to be back after being away for some weeks.
The answer of this week's spy game is JACKHAMMER.
From the clue given above, JACKHAMMER fits the description because:
Here, the word Jack and Hammer are being used together to give Jackhammer which now means a heavy duty machine used widely in construction works for jobs like breaking up concrete footings around fence posts, demolishing roads and pavements, breaking down boulders and large concrete slabs, ectera.
Guess what?
You now have to wait until Wednesday to see if you are right.
Here is something that will keep you busy until then 🍫
