Word Tide

On the hour and the half hour, a new family of four words comes in — words of the sea, of light, of temper, of the kitchen. Everyone, wherever they are, sees the same four until the tide turns. Name each one from its meaning; take as long as you like.

Once you name a word, its origin appears beneath it. Origins: Online Etymology Dictionary (etymonline.com), with the Oxford English Dictionary for the dated words.

Sixteen families come round in turn, so the same tide returns every eight hours. Everything runs on your device; nothing you type is sent or kept.
