GLEAR = GOOD AND CLEAR
Before returning home from a trip, my daughter and son-in-law make a thorough check of their hotel room. My daughter explained:
"We always check to make sure the hotel room is glear before we leave."
Leave no one and nothing behind. 😄

SCHMERRIES = SMASHED + BERRIES
My 12-year-old grandson provided today's Scrabulary word with its specific spelling! 👦 He enjoys eating fruit cups and usually requests one as a side when ordering take-out. One day he was enjoying his food order and exclaimed:
"This fruit cup is full of schmerries! I'll still eat it, though."😋

SPY CHICE = SPICED CHAI
Today's Scrabulary word reminds me of the phrase "Got my tongue wrapped around my eye tooth and couldn't see what I was saying."
My hubby was sharing the benefits of spiced chai tea and said:
"Reducing inflammation is just one of the many benefits of spy chice tea."
Aroma therapy, too!

BATEY = BABE + MATEY
Today's word is courtesy of a dear friend and former co-worker. 😊
In searching Goggle.com, the definition of the word "batey" can reference a settlement, often a shanty town, located near a sugar mill. A community where sugarcane workers and their families live, often temporary or makeshift housing. A second definition refers to the Taino culture where a "batey" was a sacred plaza or rectangular area surrounded by stones with carved symbols (petroglyphs) where ceremonies and other social activities took place. However, in the language of Scrabulary, this word was uttered by my friend, inadvertently combining two words "babe" plus "matey". She told me that she usually says "cheers matey" or "love you babe" depending whether she is addressing a friend or loved one. She was addressing a family member and said:
"Cheers, batey!"
Cheers, all!👋

Successfully crafted and blocks mined. Woohoo!🙌

IMPRESSIAL = IMPRESSIVE + SPECIAL
A favorite contributor provided today's Scrabulary word. Thank you Swuvie! 😊
Swuvie was playing a board game with her husband, Dubby. Swuvie was ahead in the game after making some fancy moves. After a lackluster turn, she said:
"Okay, nothing impressial this round." 😏
The joy of playing board games in lieu of today's high tech online game playing.

PUTFRINTS = Scrambled version of the word FOOTPRINTS
My grandson was reading aloud to his mom a story he had written for a school assignment. He said:

I would have loved to hear how that story ended. 👀
