TRACE — An ancient root is given. One modern descendant is hiding in the slots. Type it. TWIST — A phrase from another language, translated literally. Guess the real idiom. STORY — Every word has a biography. Three questions trace one word's journey through history. ATLAS — Every place name once meant something. Three questions about language, place, and origin.
