Em has unfathomable hopes that some one will create a brilliant sentence with the word unfathomable.

Its too early in the morning to stir my unfathomable creative juices to write sensible sentences.

Unfathomable is a word I have never used in my whole life, but it shouldn't be too difficult to come up with a sentence.

As unfathomable as it seems, I still maintain hope that more folks will participate in Word-of-the-Day for letters V, W, X, Y, and Z! I'm open to suggestions on how to make this more appealing to a larger number of folks!

I find it unfathomable that the divers gave up on searching for the wreck because it was unfathomable.

The U.S. is so divided now that it is unfathomable that its citizens will ever come together again in my lifetime.

It's unfathomable to me, how many stars there are in the sky.

These replies are unfathomably excellent, today!
I hadn't expected such great posts, utilizing the word, unfathomable,
but I found it a very pleasant surprise, and fun and interesting to read them,
right from the very first entry and all the way through!
Unfathomable!
( It makes a great comment, even all by itself! )

My suggestion for the daily word use ,,is to create a sentence using some or all the daily words.
Maybe do that once a week,,like Saturday or Sunday.

Good idea from @Sliverfox
A variation on that idea, might be, to have a separate related thread, from the original Word-of-the-Day,
which starts with a list of the words used so far, previously, as Words-of-the-Day.....
and let posters create a sentence using 2 or more, of their choice, from that list.?

I did do one Word of the Day that gave folks the option to use one or both words. Of course, I was hoping most folks would try to use both.
I think having folks create from the entire list would be confusing, but I definitely will try to up it once a week to perhaps "Use these three words in a paragraph." One of them would fall in line with the alphabetical system that I adopted for my own convenience, but then the other two could be random. I'm just not sure how much of a challenge folks want.
I'm going to finish the alphabet with the one word challenge first, since we are already at "U." But, for the next round, definitely yes!

I think it would be interesting and fun, if a poster could choose their own 2 words,
selected from the list of words which we have become more familiar with, from having had them as Words-of-the-Day,
to use together in one sentence...such as:
I could select the 2 words, kerfuffle and unfathomable, from the list.....
and then, for example, I could post:
" It was nearly unfathomable to me, how long-lasting the effects on the neighborhood ,
from the kerfuffle they'd had over which foods to serve at the Block Party, last summer."
That's a type of sentence I never would have come up with, if it weren't for this fun game, you'd started for us!
But it's fine with me, if something else is decided upon.

Interesting idea. We can have an additional "Words of the Week" thread to write a paragraph using all 7 words of the past week.
As we have more words, it would be helpful to have a sticky index thread linking to all words.

I'm fine either way, as long as people remember to somehow highlight the words from the list. Otherwise, they would just seem like random paragraphs. It would be hard perhaps since I made no effort to unite the words by concept, in any order at all, to just pick the last 7 old words. . . Regardless, I don't want to make a drastic change before we get to 'Z.' ? Maybe go with 5 words that might play well together for the daily word of the day and then a weekend challenge using all five in a sentence or paragraph? As to the sticky index, that would be a technical thing for you to figure out - I've no idea how to do it to make it work.
