It's fine! :) Since people can easily make mistakes or get haxed people can make as many alts as they want until they get one of their alts in the Hall of Fame.
Also PMed Brostime!
Welcome, Neverused Ladder Challenge fans, to another exciting week here in our spectacular thread (thatyoushouldLuvdiscimeanwutsubliminalmessages)!
We've done a Monotype Challenge! We've done a Random Pokemon Challenge! What could we have in store for you now? It's simple: this is the back-to-school challenge! For this challenge, you must have a team of six Pokemon. The first letter of each Pokemon must come together to spell an acronym. Now you may be asking yourself, "self, what's an acronym?" Lucky for you, you can find a definition for the word acronym below!
acronym: noun: 1. An abbreviation formed by (usually initial) letters taken from a word or series of words, and which is itself pronounced as a word, such as RAM, radar, or scuba; sometimes contrasted with initialism
Still confused? No worries. I will provide an example.
Say I really liked spiders (which I do, btw), and I wanted to use that for my acronym. All I would have to do is find Pokemon whose names began with each respective letter of the word "spider" and make a team out of those six Pokemon. I have done so below.
Scolipede
Piloswine
Illumise
Dewgong
Eelektross
Rapidash
And there is the team!
When choosing your word, please confirm that it is in Merriam Webster's Online Dictionary. Scrabble House Rules also apply: no proper nouns.
