Narrator: today's featured words
are divvy and repetitive.

It's the start
of another long day

At the city prison,

And the warden
is making sure

All the villains are
accounted for.

Ms. Question...check.

Invisi-bill
and the whammer...

Check.

Amazing rope guy...
No check.

Wait a while--no check?!

Guard!

Oh, it just doesn't
make sense!

He couldn't have escaped
from my prison.

If he did, well, darn it,
I'll eat my hat!

I'll put hot sauce
and beans on it,

Wrap it in a tortilla,
and have a hat-rito!

There you are!
What took you
so long?

Ohh. So much
digging.

Couldn't I just
tunnel outside the prison

And walk from there?

I help you escape,
and you're
complaininging

About digginging?

Uhh..

Anyway, now we can rob
whoever we want,

And it won't matter
if you get caught

Because we have a way
of gettinging you

Out of prison
every time!

And we'll divvy up
everything we steal?

Right down the middle.
/ .

Wait!

[Sighs]

Anyhow, you try
to rob the place,

And I'll be over
here observinging
and learninging.

Then when you get
arresteded,

Use the tunnel
and meet me at
the next location.

Give me all the money
in this bank,

Or--oh, why'd you
do that?

Ohh.

So the alarm
activates the gate.

That's easy.

Backup! Backup!
Backup now!

I know I'm being
repetitive,

But I really need
backup!

This is great.
I'm learninging

Everything
I need to know. Ha ha!

Word girl: ok, who's
the villain that thinks

He can get away with--

Oh, it's just rope guy.

This should be easy.

[Giggling]

Hey. It won't be
that be easy,

Or my name isn't
amazinging rope guy.

I mean amazing rope guy!

Ha ha!

Ohh.

Here you go,
security guard
number one.

Thank you, word girl.

Hey, huggy, isn't it
strange that he called
himself "amazinging"?

Hmm.

Narrator: back in prison,
amazing rope guy

Is escorted
back to his cell.

Warden: ¡ole!
Hmm, this hat-rito's not bad.

Needs a little capamole!

Ha ha.

Ha ha!

Ohh. Phew.

Really, I think if
we just dug

Right outside the prison
this would be much easier.

Yeah. Well, you won't
be complaininging

When we divvy up
all the great stuff
we steal.

Oh, that's quite
an outfit.

I didn't realize
the circus rodeo show
was in town.

Heh heh heh.

Yeah, you're hilarious.

I'm actually a villain
here to rob you.

Aah!

I will put up
little to no resistance.

We just have to figure
out this key situation.

Aha!

Ok, the third silver key
on the ring

Goes right there.

I'd know that
terrified squeal
anywhere, reginald!

What's going--
amazing rope guy?

Didn't I just
capture you?

Yeah. That was me!

Well, this is
getting repetitive.

Yeah, well now what
are you gonna do--

Oh, no! Better take
me to jail, I guess!

Um, yeah, I will.

Let's go, huggy.

Narrator: anyway,
you know what happens next.

And we're off to jail again.

Man, this is
getting repetitive.

I'm sorry,
word girl.

I'd eat my hat,
but I'm really full
from the last two.

One was a / .

Well, maybe just
a bite.

This whole thing
is getting way
too repetitive.

Yeah, this whole
thing is just

Getting way too
repetitive.

Yup. Repetitive,
repetitive,
repetitive.

I agree!

[Squeak]

Oh, repetitive means
it happens

Over and over again,

Like how I keep
defeating rope guy,

But he keeps escaping,

And you keep promising
to eat your hat

And eating your hat--
it's all repetitive.

Well, I will eat
my hat if he
gets out again!

And that's
a promise!

Yeah, whatever.

Just please keep
amazing rope guy in prison

This time, ok?

Aah!

Well, now that I
learneded everything

About robbinging
all those places,

I won't be needinging
you anymore.

Enjoy beinging
in prison.

Sorry I can't be
divvyinging up all

The great things
I steal. Ha ha!

By the way, this is
the learnerer.

What?! Ohh!

Aha! I knew
something was up.

So the learnerer is
behind all this,

And now he's
double-crossed you?

Yeah, it was all
the learnerer.

I followed him
from the beginning!

He promised to rob
all the places

And then divvy up
the loot,

But now he's not
gonna divvy anything,

And the worst part is
I don't even know

What divvy means!

Ohh, ohh!

Divvy means divide up
or share.

You wanted the learnerer
to divvy up the stolen goods,

But instead he's gonna
keep them all for himself.

Well, actually,
there won't be anything

To divvy up because
I'm gonna stop him!

Right, huggy?

Huggy?

Oh. Oh, brother.

Narrator: meanwhile,
the learnerer is making

Quick work of all the places
he's...learneded how to rob.

Heh heh.

Word girl!

The learner--ohh--er.

The jig is up!

Not so fast.

I've been learninging
about you,

Studyinging all the ways
you defeat villains.

Can I just interrupt
your speech to tell you

That I can't stand
the way you add

An extra suffix
to words?

How dare you say that!

What is
a suffix again?

Oh. Well, well,
a suffix is something

You add onto a word
to make another word.

Like adding "ing"
to "learn"

To get "learning."

You haven't been
learninging about me

And studyinging
my moves.

You've been
learning about me

And studying my moves.

Wait a second.
You've been learning
and studying my moves?!

That's right!

And now I'm ready
to defeat youyou.

"Youyou"?

Ok, that's not even
an extra suffix.

It's just weird.

Yeah, agreed.
Yeah.

Well, I think it's time
to take you down,
learnerer!

Bringing it on!

You mean, bring it on.

And I will.

A monkey throw!

[Screech]

Yep, seen that one.

[Word girl
and the learnerer grunting]

Ok, this is
clearly not working.

What's wrong, word girl,
gettinging tired?

Ha ha ha!
Ah ha ha!

[Squeaks]

You're right, huggy.

Let's see. The learnerer
has studied

All of our att*ck moves,
so none of them are
going to work,

Which means maybe we
should stop attacking!

Ok, learnerer.

My next move is waiting
for your next move.

So go ahead.

What's that you said?

My move?

Yeah, I'm done
attacking you,

But I'm not letting
you go anywhere

With those stolen goods.

So go ahead
and att*ck me!

Yeah, well, uh,
here's the thing.

I don't reallyly have
any moves, per se.

See, my move is
kind of stoppinging
your moves.

So I'll tell you
what--you do a move.

What's the matter?

You haven't learned
one move on your own?

I was kiddinging.
I do have moves.

Ha! Guh!

Ohh.

Ayeee! Chim chim!
Chim chim! Ooh!

Yeeeeeh!

Nyah, nyah, nyah,
nyah!

[Laughing]

Not funny!

Ok, you want to
see a move?

It's time for my
super special move,
the...

Uh, fly through the air,

Somersault...

Power smashy thing
with a tuck,

And it--and it goes,
like, um, like this?

Hyah! Hyah! Yeeeeeh!
Uhhh! Aah! Hoo!

Ow!

Narrator: I guess
the only thing the learnerer

Will be divvying up
with amazing rope guy

Is a prison cell!

And I'm guessing
the warden won't be allowing

Any more posters
on the walls.

At the risk
of sounding repetitive,

Tune in next time, kids,
for an exciting, amazinging--

Oh, come on.
Not you, too.

Just this once--

Thrillinging episode

I'm sorry.
That's incorrect.

Console means to comfort
someone or help them

Feel better
when they're upset.

♪ Word girl ♪

Narrator: listen for the words
woozy and brooch.

Here, on the planet earth,
every city has its share
of villains,

But this city is well protected
by the wonderful word girl!

And her fearless sidekick
captain huggy face!

Whammer: wham!

Wham! Wham!
Wham! Wham!

Whaaa-am!

Whammer doesn't like
being upside down!

It's not whammer!

It's not whammer
at all!

Oh, no! Violet!

I'm late!

[Squeak]

Would you like
another cup of tea?

Sorry! Sorry!
Sorry, violet!

I didn't forget
about our tea time.

I just, um--
calendar confusion.

Calendar confusion?

I thought today
was yesterday and that
tea was tomorrow,

But I'm--uh, hey it looks
like you had a tofu melt.

Was it any good?

Um, are we still bffs?

Best friends forever?

You know it!

Why would you
say that?
Well, this was our
regular best friend
tea party,

And you didn't
just miss this one,

You've missed
the last...

Two?

?

, Huh?

Yikes. That is
pretty bad,

But heeey, look!

Your best friend is here,
and she brought

You a gift!

Thank you, becky!

"A pretty princess
and magic pony power
hour" key chain!

Yup!
Oh, thank you, becky.

I'm going to get
some keys

Just so I can use it!

As luck would have it,
I've got a gift for you.

Really? Wow!

Magic pony!

It's a brooch.

I think it's pronounced
"brohch,"

As in a piece
of jewelry you pin

On your clothes--
shaped like magic pony!

Oh, I love it!

A "brohhhch,"
brooch.

I made it myself out
of polished minerals.

It's magic pony,
and you made him
just for me!

I love it. I--whoa.

I mean, whoa!

This is cool!

You mean it?

Of course I mean it.
It's wonderful.

Ooh! I've got to get
to the kitchen!

[Tea kettle whistling]

Whoa.

[Squeaks]

I'm up! I'm up!

What?

I don't know.
I'm feeling
a little weird,

Kind of woozy.

[Squeaks]

You know, woozy as
in a bit dizzy,
confused,

Even a little weak.

If you're just
joining us, the whammer

Has escaped
from police custody,

And he's whammed his way
into the city museum.

The whammer again?

Ok, bob.
Let's go!

[Whistling]

Word up--whoa-oa-oaaaa!

Still feeling woozy.

Oh, thanks, huggy.
I'm ok.

I've probably just got
a cold or something.

Ohh. I'm ok, I'm ok!

[Squeaking]

Whammer's whammin'
with these old-school
egyptian whammers.

Aah!

Ugh!

You mean those
ancient pillows?

Oh, no.
Word girl!

Won't I ever learn?

Wham!

Whoa!

Look, i--whoa--

Look, whammer.
I'm not really
in the mood today.

What say you just
give up and come
quietly this time?

How about I just
wham quietly instead?

"Wham qui"--whoa!

Whammer's only kidding!

There's only one way
to wham,

And it involves
a lot of yelling like,
"ohh! Wham! Hey!"

Whoa!

Wham!
Aah!

Wham-bam-bam-bam-bam!

Wham!

Oh, no.

Now you went and ruined
the whammer's
ancient whammer.

You mean pillow?

Yeah, whatever.

I'm keeping
the wham one!

[Groaning]

You've got to
be kidding me!

[Squeak]

Oh! Thanks, huggy.

I don't know what's
wrong with me.

The whammer never wins!

It's ok.
Don't panic.

So the whammer
wins a battle.

I mean, I'm good,
but even I can't
win them all.

[Alarm ringing]

[Squeaks]

Ohh. This is just
plain bad.

Am I really
losing my edge?

I'm not sure when all
this started, bob.

[Squeaking]

Oh, I know.
Isn't it just so cute?

[Knock on door]

Violet: hey.
I got your message.

Oh, becky.

I'm sorry to cancel
our movie plans.

This is getting
ridiculous.

Well, I brought you some
herbal ginger ice cream.

And is that--

Cedar leaf tip
whipped cream.

If this doesn't get
you feeling better,
then nothing will!

First this awesome brooch
and now ice cream, too?

No wonder you're
my best friend.

Not to mention that I
actually braved a trip
across town.

What do you mean?

Well, it's nuts out
there these days

With all those
super villains
running amok!

Poor word girl seems
to be losing her touch.

Maybe I should give her
a lucky brooch.

Sure. I mean--
hey, wait a minute.

What changed in my life?
What's different?

Different?

Maybe I should give her
a lucky brooch.

[Echoing]
brooch.

[Echoing]
woozy.

[Echoing]
brooch.

Brooch!

Uh, violet, what did
you said you made
this brooch from?

It's actually
kind of cool.

Meteorites!

That's right,
meteorites.

Pretty cool, huh?

If some of those
meteorites were
from the planet lexicon,

That would mean I'm wearing
a brooch containing

Power-draining lexonite!

[Screech]

Uh, becky, come
take a look-see.

Citizens of the wham!

This is the whammer's
giant wham ship.

I call it the wham ship!

Whammer's going to use
its powerful wham-ccelerator

To wham every city
on the planet,

Starting right here,
right now!

We have to stop
the whammer--

Ooh! But first
I've got to get rid
of this brooch.

Violet, I love this brooch,
I really do.

I love it so much that,
well, I want you
to have it.

Becky?

You worked so hard on it,
and i--i think

I'm allergic
to the meteor particles.

And you've been wearing
it this whole time?

I didn't want to
hurt your feelings.

You mean it?

What a best friend.

Here, how about
this?

It's beautiful!

And this shiny rock is--

% Non-meteor-borne!

Now, shall we run
for our lives?

Aah!
Aah!

Aah!

Huh?

Word girl?!

Ha ha ha! Wham!

You know what, whammer?

I don't think so!

Huh? Hey, now just
a minute!

Whammer's supposed to
be whamming you.

Not today, whammer!

Wham! Wham!
Whaaaaaam!

Megawham!

Oh, wham, wham, wham!
Wham, wham, wham, wham!

Ha ha ha ha
ha ha ha!

Huh?

Noooo!

[Screaming]

Oh, no!

Narrator:
congratulations, word girl!

It was a sweeping victory
on your behalf

Now that you're no longer
feeling woozy.

Thanks to my new
lucky brooch!

Yes, it's nice to have
the old word girl back!

Word up!

And so, with her
lucky new brooch

And trusty sidekick,
word girl has overcome

Those woozy feelings
and saved the city
