We only need 64 good words to have a proper tournament, so get your suggestions in soon by replying to this thread! Polls will start in December.
Before that, you’ll get a chance to submit your predictions to a bracket competition. Donate USD$10 or more to any charity to enter the bracket competition. Anybody can vote in thr polls. Details will be posted later
My sincere apologies to all followers of @bookstodon : I didn’t realize that all of the replies would automatically tag the #bookstodon group, and that therefore the followers of that cool group would have to see dozens of suggested words for my upcoming word tournament. I am a bad mastodonian and I have learned my lesson 😔
@scottbarolo @bookstodon I have appreciated the cacophony of multisyllabic words in this timeline. I know not your criteria, but I quite enjoy "petrichor," with "aglet" a close second.
@TrueLoveEditorial @scottbarolo @bookstodon yay for another petrichor fan!
