Far from it. They are alive and well and sitting in the dictionary between ilk and image. Ill words, of course, are words beginning with the letters I, L, L, and there are lots of them. Here are eight to start with: ILLEGAL ILLEGIBLE ILLITERATE ILLNESS ILLOGICAL ILLUMINATE ILLUSION ILLUSTRATE Your can have great fun with Ill words by playing the Ill game. The aim of the game is to give players the letters, I, L, L, and ten minutes in which to write out all the words they can think of beginning with ILL. The player with the longest list when the time is up is the winner.
When you've had a round of ILL you can try a round with ALL.
That's got a lot to offer as well: ALLAY ALLEGATION ALLEY ALLIANCE ALLIGATOR ALLOW ALLOY ALLY and more besides. And when you've finished with ILL and ALL, you can move on to longer words - like CAST and HEAD and WEAK and SELF - and see where they lead you. Dictionaries can be used for checking answers.
