After a brief hiatus so that I could 1) catch up and 2) give the blog a needed facelift, Rare Words is back! What’s different? The site is now mobile friendly. Try it out. Nice big pictures even on your phone.

I made a better home for the book, wrote a bit about the idea behind the blog, and made an archive with links to every word ever submitted. Don’t forget to submit while you’re there. Thanks for the continued support.
