Wednesday – I spy with my little eye – Mini contest (96)
Hello SteemKids and Parents!
I watched some aircraft disasters over the weekend when I remembered an interesting fact about English that I am going to share with you today.
Did you know that if you want to be a pilot, you have to speak English?
Yip! English became the official language for the sky after two airplanes crashed after the tower operator could not understand one of the pilots.
Let’s take a last look at last week’s clues.
1. Again it is an 11-letter word starting with the letter S
2. It is a happy accident
3. It is a noun
4. Right time, right place
The correct word is SERENDIPITY!
It is one of the “prettiest” words in the English dictionary. Okay, I can hear you. How can a word be “pretty?” Believe me, when a word rolls off the tongue like serendipity, it is pretty to the ear.
Just as pretty as the word, so is the meaning.
“Luck that takes the form of finding valuable or pleasant things that are not looked for." This is according to the Merriam-Webster Dictionary.
In other words, serendipity is a happy accident, and it comes from being in the right place at the right time. Let’s find serendipity on Steemit this week.

This week, we have a winner!
Well done, @pennsif 6 STEEM is yours this week.
With that, the prize for next week is back to 2 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,” that 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 “B"
1. This week it is a 9-letter word
2. It is applicable to life; it can backfire
3. It is a sign of a bearing hardship culture
4. It can be joyful and harmful when used

Again new mini contest 😃.
Indeed! You better start thinking!
Thank you for the prize !
This week's word is a toughie. Definitely need my smartest thinking cap for this one.
The pleasure is mine!
Good luck ☕
I enjoyed considering possible options for this mysterious word @patjewell .
I wonder whether it may be Boomerang.
I'm probably totally off the mark here, but at least I got the right number of letters 😁
Ah! It's always nice to see a Steemian enjoying the game.
Well, all that is left is to wait for Wednesday. (•ิ‿•ิ)
I think the word is Beautiful
Ah! Nice to see you Queen!
Let's see what Wednesday will bring for you. 🧁
Oh yeah. I love that title momma, fingers crossed
The word I will be going with is "blessings."
"Blessing" is a 9-letter word.
It is applicable to life and can backfire if misunderstood or misused.
It can be a sign of bearing hardship, as blessings often come after struggles or sacrifices.
It can be joyful when received but harmful if it leads to complacency or is taken for granted.
Ah! Thank you for taking part.
Here is something to keep you busy until Wednesday. 🍫
A block for each day.
baleful
Awh.. count your letters my friend. It must be a word that consist of 9 letters.
Better luck next time! 🍭
Blindfold 🤞🏻
Oh yes! Nice to see you in here.
I wish I could have told you that Wednesday is only a couple of sleeps away, but unfortunately it is not. It is going to be a lloonggg wait. 🍭
I think the answer is
"Balancing"
Ah! It is so good see that you are not giving up. Well done!!!
I applaud you for that. 👏
Thank you for the encouraging words.
