The German Language Can Build Long Words from Few Letters

 One of the subwords is NENNEN, which, as you can see, is formed from just two distinct letters:  N and E. 

The rootword is GESESSEN, formed from only three distinct letters.

German words are quite capable of being packed into a compact graph!

New Domain Name Alias for WordWalk: spaghettispeller.com

 Announcing the  registration of the domain name spaghettispeller.com which currently points at wordwalk.net . The goal is to set up a separate WordWalk site for kids that uses a spaghetti and meatballs motif. The current GoDaddy cookie cutter site will be converted into a safe site for kids. Adults will be migrated over to a new wordwalk.net site that will have many features that are perhaps not appropriate for younger children.  E.g., it will allow users to register, login, create their own puzzles, share those with other users and compete in contests.  That site is currently under development and will use the Django and React tech stack. Stay tune for more announcements!
