It’s nondescript. There’s no real definition to it. Just like its voice really, apart from the introduction being read out like a zany show host with a pause for an annoying theme tune that’s yet to be inserted, then it flicks back to its regular voice. The pause between the two voices isn’t long enough so you get confused as to who’s speaking and what’s being said. I like the fact that it spells it out for you in case you’ve misheard it, but this would be more useful before hearing the definition. It’s also a shame that there’s not an opportunity to hear it in a sentence like a traditional spelling bee. I wonder how the words are picked. Is it a random selection from the dictionary each day? Would my Word of the Day be the same as someone else’s? And how does it work in another country with a different time zone? At least it’s not in alphabetical order.
