Wednesday's BOOKENDS word was QUARTER. It has seven letters, starts with Q and ends with R. The day's shelf held 600 words that fit between the bookends at the start.
What it means: noun: one of four equal parts.
Worth knowing about this word: a word starting with Q sits about 65% of the way through the alphabet, so a first guess near the middle of the dictionary, such as a word that starts with M, cuts about half the shelf whichever side the answer is on. Aim each later guess at the middle of the gap that is left.
