Olympiad: the Spelling Bee, sentence 1
You may ask for the definition, the word in a sentence or the language it comes from, and the origin is a real clue: words from Greek often use "rh", "ph" and "y" (rhythm), and words from French often end in "-ette" or "-ue" (silhouette, queue).
Who acts: You, language, origin, words · What happens: ask, come, be, use, end · To what, where: language, real clue, rh, ette
