I now have the @merriam-webster.com app but can only find a three word games there. The others, which I enjoy, I find through the website.
Why can't I see them all in the one place?
Am I missing something obvious, or is that just the way it is set up?

I wonder if we will have an ... unexplained ... pause in the usual wall-to-wall TV appearances by Nigel Farage this weekend?

This can help boost your SEO without taking away from the ALT user's experience,
For example: a cartoon by Icelandic artist Dagsson showing stick figures passing gas. Word bubbles emerge from their backsides, with an emotion contained in each one. The stick men are farting their feelings.

Looks more like a false chanterelle to me. There are some very good online videos showing you the difference between the two. A real chanterelle is pretty distinctive, once you know what you are looking at. Tear or cut it in half and it should be white down the inside. The gills are different, too.

I love seeing red squirrels darting around the woods at this time of year. My husband and I saw 11 the evening and heard more chattering at the dog from the trees.

I saw 11 red squirrels on my evening stroll, not unusual at this time of year, and it often seems like there are almost groups as we will see a couple of juveniles quite close together, with a heavier adult a wee distance away.

Oh, I feel all of this.
And my grey seems to be more pronounced some days than others.
Still, it's all part of the magnificent adventure.

When the name was changed to Nelson Mandela Square, I was so proud of Glasgow, and of the people of Scotland, so many of whom had found different ways to support peace, justice, and humanity in speaking out against South Africa and the cruel régime.

We were carted off to the jail and, after a dull night in a cell alone with nothing to read but a holiday brochure which I nabbed as I was being nabbed, I was surprised to be released jist as my pals were being taken to the dock because the procurator fiscal said I was there on legitimate business.

We don't trust Labour.
We certainly know where the fascist leanings of Farage and his thug chums would take us.

Norway, Finland, Estonia, Ireland... all nations similar to Scotland, gained independence from their neighbours and would not go back.
I want #ScottishIndependence and a return to the EU because I am an internationalist.

We have an earlier version of this, marketed under the 'Sage by Hector Blumenthal' range because Breville is synonymous with toastie-makers in the UK.
We bought ours 10 years ago. It makes between 2 and 6 coffees every day. Easy to use, very reliable, great results.

I want to see #ScottishIndependence not because I am a nationalist, but because I am an internationalist.
Because I would like Scotland to be a good neighbour to England as that country works through its dysfunctional issues, not dragged along in its chaos.
