Spring Forth, Words!

About

First introduced in April 2021 as Wordtober's nicer cousin, Spring Forth challenged players to use a list of 30 words in their posts while allowing for multiple completion options. All options were limited to one word per post, however, so regardless of their path, players are required to make a minimum of 30 posts over the course of the month to win.

Other Differences from Wordtober

  • Plurals and variations on the root word are accepted -- so "superstitious" instead of "superstition" is fine.
  • As a bonus, regular Word of the Day uses counted double. Regular Word of the Day uses could occur in the same post as a Spring Forth word use.
