Solve English Word Puzzles: FLOUR, TERN, THIRSTY & More

[Evo]

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.

Headache. Working on the rest.

I'm getting stumped for now, but if you reduce the requirement to a six and seven-letter words that contain nine other words and a six letter word that is built entirely from smaller words, I can do it with:

ANTICS

1. A
2. AN
3. ANT
4. ANTI
5. ANTIC
6. ANTICS
7. TIC
8. TICS
9. I

FRANTIC

1. RAN
2. RANT
3. A
4. AN
5. ANT
6. ANTI
7. ANTIC
8. TIC
9. I

uncopywritable

uncopywriteable

That's correct!

 

[chroot]

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

I didn't even notice. It's uncopyrightable.

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)

PARENTS (PA PAR PARENT A ARE RE REN RENT RENTS ENT ENTS)
PANTIES (PA PAN PANT A AN ANT TI TIE TIES)

I think they're spelt 'attended' & 'attender'.

'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.

You got the six letter one correct, but not the 7 letter one. Ent isn't a true word in English, it would be considered an acronym or abbreviation. But very close!

I believe we had this one and I declared it in the other strange words thread. So here I go in this one ... UNCOPYRIGHTABLE.

What unusual property do the words FLOUR, TERN, and THIRSTY have in common?

I think (and I don't know why) that they are anogramatic (i.e. the letters will rearrange to make another word). TERN = RENT but as I am no good with word puzzles I cannot think of any for the others.l

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.)

Headache (although it has already been had) and Heartache

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?

I can get to a five letter word but not a seven. How common is it?

Ok, this one is just for fun - Rearrange the letters in the words "new door" to make one word.

Woodern? Is that even a word? (LOL)

An ent is a mythical tree-like creature. They feature, for example, in Tolkien's "The Two Towers."

It is also the abbreviation for Ear, Nose and Throat in medicine, it is the basic data structure of Udanax Gold and it stands for Education with New Technologies.

Evo claimed that ENT was not a proper word since it was an abrreviation (AFAIK nobody actually pronounces it.) The examples you're giving fit into that category.

NEW DOOR- rearranged = ONE WORD
that's a classic

Heheh, yes, you are correct.

So, is everyone ready for the answers to the other words?

Apart from being annoyed I didn't get anymore then yes. Answers.

What is the longest non-hyphenated word in English in which no letters are repeated (each letter appears only once)?

I know this is reviving a dead topic, but I'd just like to point out that there's a second answer to this riddle. DERMATOGLYPHICS, the study of fingerprints. :)
