7. Can you think of a word with 5 O's
13. has/have six consonants in a row?

Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwyll-llantysiliogogogoch (although it has six Os (<---- No apostrophe ) and 7 consonants in a row).

You may not count it but hex that is life.

I believe it is a Welsh town.

Indeed it is a town in the north of Wales. It don't quite fit the criteria because it has one too many Os and one too many constants in a row. But it is a quality word. You do know that there was a song written about it, right? :biggrin: No joke.
