BIDI WADI

I'm always intrigued when I find out that a word I've known (in Scrabble) for a while has another spelling, or has a group of words that are similar to it. Most recently, I was reviewing a game someone posted and found that BIDI, a word I learned early on when I was looking for ways to get rid of two I's at once, could be spelled BEEDI. Here are some BEEDIS to the right ....


On the 'similar words' note, I just learned that in addition to WADI (the bed of a usually dry watercourse) being a word, there is also:
WADDY     to strike with a thick club
WADDIE    a cowboy
WADDIED (past tense of waddy)
WADDIES (could be either one)


For a more common set of words, you could put a C on the front of these...
