Artemis 1 launch

Artemis 1 launches today. It's goal is an unmanned moon orbit, so hopefully it will work. I'm going to watch it tonight at 11:30 CST.

Brendan and Sean are rooming together in college. Andy is a senior on track to be valedictorian. Kayley is 12 and has curly hair now after almost dying from MIS-C (a complication from COVID) last December. She healthy again, thank god.

I'm playing Fallout 76, but want to start Stray. Maybe I will.

Putting a list into SpellingCity.com

Are you trying to get a list of words into SpellingCity.com and need to remove numbers from you list?

Example List:

1. Internet
2. Router
3. Reddit
4. Youtube
5. MMORPG
6. GeForce

If you have several of these kinds of lists, and want to get them in SpellingCity.com without the numbers, there doesn't seem to be an easy way. If you just paste the list above into the input box, you get a "Validation Error".

Well, a Guy at  a House is here to help you!

Highlight your entire list and copy it to the clipboard with Control-C.

Open Microsoft Excel (I bet you could do it in Google Sheets too. Yup, you can; see below)

Paste your list into cell A1 using Control-V

Click the A column header to highlight to column, then click the DATA menu at the top, then click the Text to Columns button at the right.



This screen comes up.



Choose Delimited, click next.


Remove the check mark from TAB and check SPACE instead, then press finish.

There you'll have your list of words in (probably) column B and can copy and paste that into SpellingCity.com


Here's how you do it in Google Sheets. Same basic principle.
