Word of the day is ‘forwallowed’ (15th century): extremely weary from tossing and turning all night.

The final scores are in! I took on as many games as my brain and fingers could manage; apologies to those whose challenges I couldn’t accept. But we will go again later in the summer. Congratulations to all those who smashed me!.

It’s been quite a marathon taking on so many excellent players on Two Words this week. Whether you’re as brilliant as many I’ve played, or just starting out, thank you for giving us a go.
Susie is still working her way through the remaining games. Here's the updated stats - a lead is forming! 😎. #PlaySusie

A buzzing evening at Southwark Cathedral to celebrate the winners of the @Soc_of_Authors awards. Delighted to have been nominated for the McKitterick Prize for ‘Guilty By Definition’, and to celebrate the joy of writing - by humans! - with fellow authors. #SoAwards

Thanks to everyone who voted for ‘went’ - an example of language swerving the expected. Instead of ‘go, goes, goed’ we have ‘go, goes, went’, because speakers decided to opt for the past tense of ‘wend’. This process is called ‘suppletion’.
Words take the lead with a resounding victory in round 3 courtesy of went. 6 may be perfect, but it wasn't enough to beat @susie_dent. Round 4 will be out tomorrow with more numbers and words vying for your vote. In the meantime, catch up on round 3 here:

For those in need of a smile, a reminder that one 19th-century name for a penguin was ‘arsefoot’.

Word of the day, from Pennsylvanian Dutch, is ‘ferhoodled’, meaning ‘tangled’ or ‘all mixed up’. Can be used of anything from a sock drawer to life.
