Verbs that start with every letter, A to Z
Stuck on Q under Verb? Polarzinho, who conjugates "eat bamboo" in every tense, wrote the A to Z list of verbs.
By Polarzinho ·
A verb is an action word: run, jump, eat, sleep. I am an expert in at least two of those. Still, when a hard letter comes up under Verb, I freeze. So I wrote this list of verbs that start with every letter, A to Z.
Most verbs come from the answer list Stop! itself knows for the Verb category in English.
How to use this list in Stop
Verb is one of the categories Polar Games’ online Stop already knows. It comes in ready-made themes, and you can add it to your own list too.
Stop! only draws letters that have known answers in the round’s categories, and a letter never repeats in the same match.
PolarzinhoI wrote "bamboozle" for B. It counts. It is even my favorite verb.
