Did you know that two chemists in Worcestshire, England, sort of accidentally on purpose made the peculiar concoction in the early 1800’s? With an interest in recreating an ancient fish sauce, a concoction of mixed ingredients was created and sampled, and too pungent for any tongue, so the story goes, the barrel of sauce was expunged to the basement, until it was discovered when space in that basement was needed a few years later- and the sauce picture had fermented. Some brave soul tried it, said, “Hey, this isn’t bad!”, and soon the sauce was prepared for public consumption and marketed.

Despite that short introduction, my light post for the night is going to feature sever words that can be made with the letters of “Worcestershire”.

And sorry- I ain’t gonna work to too hard.

What I will say is you cannot make “worship” or “worthy”, or “sheet worker”. Or “crested” or “sword” or “rooster”. An f short for “free throws”.

1. “Worth”. A gimme, but it is worth it.

2. “Shrew”. That’s a worthwhile one to dig out of there.

3. “Richest”. A word also of some worth.

4. “Sheets”. They are nice to have when you are tired tho, yo.

5. “Horses”. Like, what it would take to drag me away from this.

6. “Rehire”. As in, second chances are always welcome.

7. “Showers”. We all need them. And the rest of us thank you.
