There are quite a few times the magnetic words and I have a dramatic altercation. One liners are the best approach until those words are better behaved.❤️📖

I cheat a little, I wait until someone posts one and copy the word list onto my word doc, then I can play with combinations till I find something I like.🤔👀

I become dizzy looking at this jumble of words, but reading your poem it all makes sense.

It's not easy on the magnetic board to make any sense of the words.
