Happy Lei Day, Hawaiians.
Having never been to Hawaii (the closest thing I’ve had is a t-shirt I had in the late ’90s), I was afraid I’d have to fight my way onto the current board, but the reality is it couldn’t have been easier.
It’s a testament to how much Hawaiian culture has permeated the world that I was familiar with all of today’s words, with the exception of MACADAMIA, which I didn’t know had a strong link to the islands (I thought they were Australian). It was also a very difficult word to reconstruct and it took me a couple of tries to find it in the correct order.
