One Word, Three Ways: Litter

Meet Word Nerd! He loves nothing more than finding a word he can use in different ways. This time his word is: Litter 

From the March/April 2021 Issue

Did you know that litter can mean

  • “a group of baby animals born at the same time to the same mother,”
  • “a dry material that is spread in a container and used as a toilet by animals,”
  • or “pieces of garbage scattered around”?

Word Nerd shows you how!
