WWFictionary: Second Edition, A to Z

Speculative definitions for previously unknown (to me) real words that you can spell in Words With Friends.

I started collecting these long before the WWF update with the handy built-in dictionary. As cool as that feature is, I find I have a better chance of remembering the word if I make up a definition than if I just read the real one. So I still do.

The entries new to this Second Edition are highlighted.
