So this week I was watching the final episode of Season 2 of Rings of Power on Prime, wherein King Durin of the dwarves was … Oh wait hang on a sec:

Words, Words, Everywhere The Words
So I’ve sort of been collecting amusing (to me, anyway) screen shots of Spelling Bee words that were not accepted. Most of them are words I didn’t expect it to take but that I wanted to spell anyway, and since they’ve started to kinda clutter up my device with pictures, I figured it was time to finally post them.
