more strange words
What six letter word in the English language contains ten other words without rearranging any of its letters?
On that same order, what seven letter word in the English language contains ten other words without rearranging any of its letters? What unusual property do the words FLOUR, TERN, and THIRSTY have in common? Name an English word of more than 2 letters that both begins and ends with the letters 'he' (in that order). (Actually, there are two possible correct answers -- and "hehe" is not an acceptable solution.) What is the longest non-hyphenated word in English in which no letters are repeated (each letter appears only once)? There is a common English word that is seven letters long. Each time you remove a letter from it, it still remains a common English word -- from seven letters right on down to a single letter. What is the original word, and what are the words that it becomes after removing a letter at a time? Ok, this one is just for fun - Rearrange the letters in the words "new door" to make one word. |

Of course, Parth, you spelled it wrong. The 'e' is obviously repeated in your version.

Not sure if this is spelled correctly:
ATENDED (A AT ATE ATEND TEN TEND TENDED END ENDED) or ATENDER (A AT ATE ATEND TEN TEND TENDER END ENDER) Six letters SPARED (SPA SPAR SPARE PA PAR PARED A ARE RE RED - not sure if pare is a word.) Seven letters PATENTS (PA PAT PATE A AT ATE TEN TENT TENTS ENT ENTS) PARENTS (PA PAR PARENT A ARE RE REN RENT RENTS ENT ENTS) PANTIES (PA PAN PANT A AN ANT TI TIE TIES) |

'Pare' - it's how you peel the skin of an apple or orange. I'm not sure 're' is acceptable, though it's an allowed Scrabble word. |
