Hello kids and parents!
It's Wednesday and I am back!
This week I am going to give you the word first and then I want you to take another look at last week's clues.
And the word is ... BIOGRAPHY!
And the clues...
1. It is a 9-letter word
2. It can be mine, yours, or someone else’s
3. It is more than facts
4. You need permission
Ah! Can you see why this is also called a thinking game?
A game that keeps our minds active, yours and mine. Yip! I don't just choose a word.
I have to think about a word, make sure you are going to learn from it, make it interesting, gather information, and then I have to put the clues together so that I don't make it too easy. In other words, I have to think about how I can "trick" you.
I must admit that there were weeks that I thought nobody will guess it right but in the end someone did. We have some clever Steemians on this platform.
Unfortunately this week I got the upper hand. Nobody guessed BIOGRAPHY!
The reason why I choose BIOGRAPHY is that it is so often confused with AUTOBIOGRAPHY.
BIOGRAPHY - This is the life story of someone written by someone else.
AUTOBIOGRAPHY - This is the life story of someone written by that person.
But there is a catch.
One of my favorite books on my bookshelf is "Long walk to freedom" by Nelson Mandela (Madiba), former South African president.
It is classified as an AUTOBIOGRAPHY although it was not written by himself. It was "ghostwritten" by Richard Stengel.
What this means is that Stengel wrote it on behalf of Mr. Mandela.
With no winner for the last contest, the winning prize for this week will be 4 STEEM.
Time for your next game!
The game is exactly like last week;
The game “I spy with my little eye” is sort of a detective game. The “spy” is the person who sees something and the rest of the players must then guess what the spy is seeing.
Of importance, it must be something that you can see and not something you can feel like an emotion.
BUT, “I spy with my little eye” is so much more than just a spy game;
- It is a thinking game
- It teaches you how to use your logic and reasoning and
- It grows your vocabulary
The contest
For today I am going to give you the letter with which the word starts plus 4 points or “clues” which you can take into consideration to figure out what the word can be.
Ready or not… let’s learn, play and win!
I spy with my little eye something that begins with the letter “K”.
1. It is a 12-letter word
2. It is a hyphenated, compound word
3. It would go around neighborhoods performing a duty
4. It is no longer to be seen in cobbled streets
How to participate?
- You can reply to this post by posting your word or you can write an article about your word

What is up for grabs?
The first correct answer will take home 4 STEEM this week.
The word and the winner will be announced next week Wednesday therefore make sure you don't send in your answer later than Tuesday 23:59 UTC.
If there is no winner the prize will carry over until there is a winner.
Until next week, keep guessing!
