New Contest!

This is Diane Zhou's teacher, Mr. Gracey's, idea for GWN. At school, Diane's class had to make the most words out of the word TRIANGLE. There were 100! Now GWN wants YOU to make the most words out of this word: GINGERBREAD.

This contest will probably not be as big as the Pokémon drawing contest, but please try it out! Just send all the words you made, your name and age, and you can always “update” your list. GWN will email you every three days to show you your list. Reply to the email with new words to update the list. Good luck!
