Autological words

[arnie]

"onomatopoeia" wouldn't really work here. An onomatopoeia is a word that sounds like what it is, such as "buzz" or "hiss" or maybe "rustle". I can't think of another autological word at this point. This is a little harder for me than the music game.

verbs

 

[arnie]

"noun" would work, because it is a noun. "Verb" wouldn't, because it's not a verb. I still haven't thought of another one . . .

think of a word which is, or does, or demonstrates in some clear and idealy non debateable way what it describes.

"Word" is an autological word for example , because it is a word and this is also what it describes. So is "static" (as in 'non-moving') because the word does not move.

"moving" however is not autological because it refers to a thing which moves...and the word 'moving' doesn't move at all.

how is 'Synergy' Synergistic?...oh...I see it. as in the combination of letters in the word work synergisticaly to make the word.

[Futureghost]

it's sort of cheating... I don't really care though.

I suppose if you can justify it it's not cheating.
