How many words can you make from these letters? Make words of any length, but use each letter no more than once per word. (If a letter is on the board twice you can use it twice.) Share your word lists in the comments.

Monday Muddle: dugout, dug out
In Canada, and possibly other places where winters are harsh, you might hear someone say, “After we get dug out…” because after a big snowstorm it can be a major project to get through your doorway and shovel a path to your driveway and your car. If, however, you hear someone say, “After we get dugout…” they may be talking about building a baseball stadium. In that case, a definite article (the) or an indefinite article (a) should precede the noun “dugout”. If you are the one building the baseball stadium, you would be responsible for getting the dugout dug out.

Monday Muddle: worse, worst, wurst
A comparative adjective (worse) is used when you are comparing two things. A superlative adjective is used when you are comparing three or more things. Unless you are comparing sausage, and then you may need to use “wurst”.
