Okay, let me tell you about this little exercise I did recently. I needed to find words that start with “hor”. Don’t ask me why, sometimes these small tasks just pop up, maybe for a writing project, maybe just pure curiosity, you know?
Getting Started
So, first thing I did was just sit back and think. What words starting with “hor” do I already know? Horse, obviously. Then came horror and horizon. Pretty common ones. But I knew there had to be more, and I needed a bigger list.
The Search Process
I actually pulled out my old physical dictionary first. Yeah, the paper kind. Flipped through the pages, found the ‘H’ section, then scrolled down to ‘hor’. It felt kind of nostalgic, doing it the old way. Found a couple more like horrid and horn.
After that, I turned to my computer. Fired it up and just typed something like “words starting with hor” into a search box. You know how it is, tons of results immediately. I clicked on a few different websites that offered word lists. Some were basic lists, others had definitions which was pretty handy.
I started writing down the words I found interesting or useful. It wasn’t super complicated, just took a bit of time clicking around and scrolling through lists.
What I Found
Ended up with a decent collection. Here are some of the ones I noted down:
- horse
- horn
- horrible
- horror
- horizon
- horizontal
- hormone
- horde
- hornet
- horoscope
- horticulture
- hospitable (almost forgot this one!)
- hostage
It’s quite a mix, right? From simple stuff like horse to more specific words like horticulture.
Final Thoughts
So yeah, that was my little adventure into “hor” words. It wasn’t anything groundbreaking, just a simple task of looking things up. Used a bit of old-school dictionary flipping and some quick online searching. Got the list I needed and maybe added a word or two to my own vocabulary. It’s funny how sometimes you just need to focus on a small, specific thing like this. Job done.
