THE ALPHABET GAME 2023 (V)

Welcome back to the Daily Vitamin and day 22 of the 2023 Alphabet Game. I hope you had a great weekend and that your week has started off well.

Below is today's sentence and the missing word begins with the letter V.

Sentence: When I asked him why his sales were down this month, he gave me a very long and v_____ explanation which basically blamed everything other than himself.

HINT: we looked at this word in May of this year and the missing word means "using or containing more words than are necessary."

Give us your answer on one of our social media sites (Facebook or Twitter) and we will provide the correct answer later. We will also include the answer in the next Daily Vitamin email. 

We'll be back tomorrow with the twenty-third letter of the alphabet... the letter W.

I hope you enjoy the rest of your day!
