Who could forget the hanging chad? I figured that one would be pretty easy for anyone who remembers the 2000 U.S. presidential election. Some of the others are not so well known.
- Chile – an alternate spelling for “chili”
- China – fine porcelain
- Turkey – a yummy yummy North American bird
- Chad – a little scrap of paper
- Panama – a snazzy hat
- Japan – to apply a hard, glossy lacquer in multiple light layers
- Brazil – a type of dyewood
- Guinea – an old British coin
- Morocco – soft leather
- Tonga – a lightweight cart in India
So now you know. Brazil, which is worth 17 points even without special spaces, is a legal word in Words with Friends and an excellent way to take advantage of a “Z.” :)
