Olympiad: riddles, lipograms and hidden words, sentence 4
Picture Gran in Cork asking, "What word is spelled wrong in every dictionary, ya eejit?" ("eejit" means idiot, said fondly): the answer is "wrong", because the word "wrong" is always spelled W-R-O-N-G; read a riddle word for word, not just for its sense.
Who acts: Picture Gran, eejit, answer, word · What happens: ask, spell, mean, say, be, read · To what, where: word, dictionary, idiot, riddle word · Speech: someone speaks here
