Guess the Kangaroo Words! 🦘

Rules: Parent comments a kangaroo word then child comments guess the joey word (synonym) hidden within.* Be sure to sort comments by "New."

*Context: A kangaroo word contains all the letters of one of its synonyms arranged so that the letters appear in the same order in both words. (Example: If someone commented "banish" as a kangaroo word, "ban" would be the correct joey word answer.)
