Today’s “Word of the Day” is “whodunit“ and it is a noun meaning “who (has) done it?; a mystery story where the reader/viewer doesn’t know who committed the crime, usually a murder; thriller, detective novel, detective story“.
Example Sentence: Last weekend’s mystery explosion at Iran’s Natanz nuclear facility, which destroyed crucial equipment, was the most spectacular strike since the 2010 Stuxnet cyber-attack. Except it’s no mystery. Anonymous “intelligence sources” freely admitted Israeli involvement. Israel’s prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu, ace provocateur (instigator/troublemaker), wanted Iran and the world to know whodunnit. It was like waving a red flag at a bull.
