_ E _ O , _ _ _ _ N - are you sure about the "O" ? Not too many words end with it and none that come to mind (memo, demo, redo, veto, zero, hero) seem to fit.

End with, O, ? The clue is -E -O -N.

Nice ! I wonder if it's "milk tooth" for the Brits.

I still don't get the E, O N positions though. :confused:

I completely missed the second one.
No wonder !

Edit : This one is 'cocoon' - the E must be wrong. Woolie : What's the clue for the "E-word" ?
