On your mark…get set…Define!
When it comes to word-based competition, consider the ante upped: The “American Heritage Dictionary Define-A-Thon,” a test of vocabulary strength, is returning to the 2012 Chicago Tribune Printers Lit Fest.
Why go beyond the spelling bee? Because the ability to spell a word doesn’t necessarily mean that you know how to use the word. That’s why the Chicago Tribune is proud to present a challenge that will require an intimate knowledge of the meaning of English words. This quick-paced game will separate the vocabulary geniuses from the wannabes.
During the competition, each contestant will be given a definition and several possible answers from which he or she must choose the correct response. As the competition progresses, the degree of difficulty increases until only four contestants are left. These four players will enter the final round with new rules and higher stakes. Will you be one of them? One thing’s for sure: it’s time to hit the dictionary.
Show off your vocabulary prowess. Play in our fast-paced challenge and win great prizes!
