One Word, Three Ways: Legend

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

From the February 2022 Issue

Did you know that legend can mean “a story told today that was first told many years ago,” “an explanation of symbols on a map,” or “a person who is famous for accomplishing something outstanding”?

Word Nerd shows you how!

"According to a neighborhood legend, there's buried treasure in the park."

"I found an old map with an X on it.  The map's legend says that's where the treasure is."

"If I find the treasure, I’ll be a neighborhood legend!"
