Dr. Dot. The daily 5 minute skill devotion. For everyone who's simply dotting about Alexa.
Hey guys, today we are revisiting a skill. We last covered nearly 800 episodes ago, word, snake, or one word, exclamation mark, but you can just enable it with word, snake. Een is really, really good, although I'm biased. I love word games.
Alexa, open word, snake. Hey, welcome to word, snake. Let's get started. Over to my assistant Alexa.
Welcome back, chump. The snake's ranked number 95 on Earth. You're in the top 100. Come on, let's grow that snake.
Okay. Right. Say start game to begin or ask for help for more options. Help.
The aim of the game is to join a word to a word I give you to make a whole new word. The larger the word, the larger your word snake. Keep getting answers correct and your word snake grows. If you're wrong and have no lifelines, your word snake dies and you have to start over.
Make sure you say, my word is before giving an answer. The quicker you answer the more points. Try to grow the world's largest word snake. What would you like to do now?
Say start game to begin a game or ask for help for more options. Start game. How many people are playing? One.
Give me a number between one and ten. One. Okay then, chump from Earth. Starting a game now.
Right. Your questions are ready. Your word is speak. What new word could you make by attaching another word to speak?
Start thinking now. Say Alexa. My word. My word is easy.
You're correct. Your word snake grows by five to thirteen. Right. Here's the next question.
Your word is gum. What new word can you attach to? Gum. To make another word.
I'm thinking now. Rapper. Bingo. You were correct.
Your word snake grows by five to thirteen. Right. Here's the next question. So, I gave you the word gum.
What new word could you make by attaching another word to? Gum. Start thinking now. Say Alexa.
My word is ball. Spot on. You're correct. Your word snake grows by four to seventeen.
Right. Here's the next question. I have the word pit for you. Give me a new word to attach to pit to make a brand new word.
Start thinking now. Say Alexa. My word is and then say the word. Say what about pit?
If you need more time, ask for more time. Alexa. Right. My word is worker.
You're wrong. You could make the word pithead. Defined as the entrance to a coal mine in the offices, machinery, et cetera. The area around it.
If you had unlocked word snake premium, you could have asked me for a hint to help you. Do you want to use a lifeline to save your word snake? Yes. I don't want him to die.
We've got the lifeline. Let's save that word snake. I use one lifeline to keep your word snake alive. You now have three lifelines remaining.
Right. Here's the next question. Your word is ever. What new word could you make by attaching another word to?
XEVER. My word is lasting. Brilliant. You were correct.
Your word snake rose by eight to twenty-five. Right. Here's the next question. Your word is egg.
What new word can you attach to? Egg to make another word. Start thinking now. Say Alexa.
My word is and then say the word. If you need more time, ask for more time. I can't think of a long one. Alexa.
My word is shell. My word is shell. My word is shell. My word is shell.
Here's something I found on the internet. Actually, shells are calcium carbonate and are indeed made by the creatures who live in them. I didn't know that. I'm going to leave it there, mainly because I'm trying to get a few in the can so that I can go away from the weekend.
Normally, I would have restarted that one so that we could finish the whole experience. I'm going to go to know when skills are a little bit flaky as well. But there you go. Now, I'm pretty sure when I said wrapper, gum wrapper, she said my word is gum a second time.
And when I said ball, she said pit, ball pit. And the reason why she repeated gum twice is because she couldn't complete a word at the end of wrapper. But she could make into ball pit. I don't think there's anything wrong with pit worker because there are pit worker social clubs in the northeast of England.
So I feel a bit robbed there. But anyway, there you go. Word, snake, all word, exclamation mark. And it's good, good sound effects, good word play, game play.
I like it. Cool. Once templayers. Nice.
