Wednesday – I spy with my little eye – Mini contest (63)

Hello SteemKids and Parents!

I don’t know about your side of the world, but on my side, I’ve noticed the first Christmas decorations on sale. It feels like just the other day that we celebrated Christmas, and here it is, only a couple of months away.

It is not yet Christmas time, but it is time to take one more look at last week’s clues.

1. It is a 13-letter word starting with “P”
2. It is a compound word
3. It is not only for prestige but also for financial gain
4. It involves physical effort

And the correct word is " PRICEFIGHTING."

Prizefighting is what we know as professional boxing. It is when two boxers fight not only for prestige but also for money, or, as they would call it, "purse.”

I am sure you wonder why it should not be written as two words. What is interesting is that I found numerous posts where it was spelled as pricefighting, price fighting, and also price-fighting.

According to the Merriam-Webster Dictionary, Cambridge Dictionary, and others dictionaries, the spelling should be as one word: prizefighting, and it dates back as far as 1695-1705.

One of the most-earned prizefighting matches was between Mayweather and Pacquiao in 2015, when the event revenue exceeded $600 million, of which Mayweather earned an estimated $120 million and the loser, Pacquiao, $80 million. It is also known as the "Battle for the Greatness."

And we have a winner this week!
Congratulations to @waqarahmadshah

That brings the prize for this contest to 2 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,” that 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 “S"

1. It is a 10-letter word
2. It is a noun and slang
3. Disgusting
4. On Halloween you will see many wannabes
