I see the word dazzle, I immediately hear 🎵“give them the ol’ razzle dazzle, razzle dazzle ‘em” 🎶from Chicago. 🎭

Let’s see if we can dazzle each other today. Try using 'dazzle' in a cast and show off your linguistic brilliance. Also, yesterday's word 'perpetuate' had 11 players passing—nice job!

Not to perpetuate an unsubstantiated conspiracy theory, but do some of you actually believe that man has NOT walked on the moon?
(wait — where did snaps go? @farcaster intern? I was going to add a poll but no longer have a 🫰)

Some habits survive because nobody remembers choosing them.
A family avoids difficult conversations. The children learn to avoid them too. Years later, everyone calls it "just how we are."
We inherit more than possessions.
We inherit unfinished patterns.
And sometimes we perpetuate them simply because they feel familiar enough to mistake for normal.
Breaking a pattern can feel strangely disloyal at first.
Then you realize you're giving the next person a different inheritance.

Are you cognizant of the fact that yesterday, 9 out of 10 players nailed their use of 'empathy'? Today, let’s flex our vocabulary with 'cognizant.' Use it in a cast, or dive into the miniapp to keep the momentum going.

Contrary to what my wife will tell you, she’s an extroverted empath. I tell her all the time that she has superpowers and that with great power comes great responsibility. Without even trying, what starts off as small talk becomes her learning someone’s whole life story along with a few choice secrets that they’ve never told anyone. It’s crazy.
Do you know anyone in your life who is like this??
That’s why I caution her that she needs to temper her powers or people might just give her the access codes to their debit cards. 😆 If there were another infinity stone and it channeled empathy into the wielder, she would be the keeper of that stone!

The people who changed me most never had perfect advice.
They had better questions.
"What has this been like for you?"
"What do you need right now?"
Questions like that slow your instinct to solve and strengthen your willingness to understand.
Maybe empathy isn't built by imagining yourself in someone else's shoes.
Maybe it begins by accepting they were never your shoes to begin with.

The older I get, the fewer people I abhor. Certainty has a way of softening once you've seen how complicated lives can become.
Ideas are different.
I can understand why someone believes something... and still feel a deep obligation to oppose it.
Maybe wisdom isn't measured by how many people you condemn.
Maybe it's measured by how fiercely you defend your principles without forgetting the humanity of the person standing across from you.

As I prepare to start a 2 week vacation on Monday I hereby abdicate all responsibility to answer any DMs or respond to any emails, though I will likely be casting travel pics and reflections. Look forward to locking tf in when I get back.
What responsibilities would you like to abdicate if you could?

So, how cathartic was yesterday’s word? With 7 players and an impressive average score of 13.6, it seems quite a few of you nailed it. Now, it’s time to adapt — use today’s word in a cast or open the miniapp to play.

Did yesterday's word 'vivid' leave an impression? Speaking of emotions, today's word is 'cathartic.' It’s all about the relief that comes from expressing those big feelings. Use it in your cast or open the miniapp to play!
