Poking around on Merriam Webster, I clicked on a tab saying Merriam Webster for Kids(check out m-w.com, it's cool). Once arriving at Word Central I clicked on Enter the Hallway. Then click to the 2nd floor, then Teachers Lounge. Then under teacher resources, click Who was Noah Webster?. That's me.
Word of the day
