Elder G wanted to welcome us today with a poem and a game!
WLBOTT: An Ode to the Elders
Winds of wisdom weave through twine,
Lofty laughter lifts the line.
Baffling brilliance, bold and free,
Oddly orbiting destiny.
Tethered not, yet bound by jest,
Time may turn, but we jest best.
The Game
Elder G chose 7 random nouns that began with each letter of WLBOTT. S/he then created images that contained these nouns. The game – see if you can guess the words. (Answers below). Note: not every picture has all seven, but they all appear in the gallery.
W – Find the Seven Words
L – Find the Seven Words
B – Find the Seven Words
O – Find the Seven Words
T – Find the Seven Words
T – Find Seven More Words
The Answers
W
For the letter W, here are seven random nouns to start the WLBOTT challenge:
- Walrus
- Wheelbarrow
- Waffle
- Wizard
- Waterfall
- Weathercock (that rooster-shaped weathervane)
- Wineglass
L
Onward to L! Here are seven random nouns to fuel our next surreal creation:
- Lasso
- Llama
- Lighthouse
- Ladle
- Lawnmower
- Lemon
- Librarian
B
Onward to B! Here are seven random nouns to fuel the next surreal creation:
- Bouquet
- Bison
- Bathtub
- Banjo
- Ballet
- Balloon
- Beekeeper
O
Ah, a vowel—excellent choice! I have a soft spot for O (perhaps because it’s delightfully round and full of possibilities). Let’s roll with O and generate seven random nouns:
- Octopus
- Obelisk
- Omelet
- Opera
- Ostrich
- Orbit
- Outhouse
T
Here’s another fresh batch of seven random nouns for the letter T:
- Tiger
- Telescope
- Tuba
- Toaster
- Train
- Tapestry
- Turnip
T
Since WLBOTT demands two sets of T words, here’s a fresh batch of seven random nouns for the final letter T:
- Tarantula
- Teapot
- Trombone
- Tortoise
- Trampoline
- Top Hat
- Tugboat

Hey, WLBOTT team, this was fun. It reminds me of the game “100% Hidden Objects” which I play on my laptop from time to time. It also reminds me of the Scientific American “Spellments” games which you can find online (where you have to find as many words as possible using only the letters given).
I got most of them and came up with a few more in some of the categories. The mushroom references could conceivably kick off yet another rabbit hole for you to climb down.

“Wanton disregard for reality” – good one. For WLBOTT, is that a bug or a feature? Or a mission statement?
