A word test...

Not in my dictionary. I can think of several 9 letter words, but no ten letter word:
screeched (I hadn’t thought of that one)
stretched
strengths
scratched

My dictionary gives “ax” as an alternate spelling for “axe”.

Regarding therein, there are definitely more than 11 words within it. Everyone, seemed, to miss the words net and ten. We could probably find more if we looked. Regarding the two letter pronoun, do personal pronouns count? If so, then the answer is me.

There’s a mile between the first and last letters-:wink:

** Lost In Reality**, the key with “therein” is that you couldn’t rearrange the letters.

And I think the two-letter noun doesn’t count pronouns, 'cause then we’d have to take into account “it” and “he” and “us” and “we.” According to my gangsta friends, the answer is “ho.” :slight_smile: How about “ox” and “ex”?

I’m afraid I don’t follow you. I can see you can make ten and net if you rearrange the letters, but Reeder was asking for words that had their letters in order, right?
Anyway, I have one for you: Name a word that is four letters long, but has three syllables. (I can think of two at the moment)

Iowa!

Iota!!

Area!

Area!!!

D’oh!

Oh boy…that was cool Achernar.

[sub]But I still got it first :)[/sub]

Heh, double simul-post!

…Aria?

Her’s one, not really a word puzzle (thus hijack?)-

Besides beimg male, famous and dead…what do these guys have in common?

George Washington, Ho Chi Minh, Maxim Gorky, Charles Darwin, James Monroe?

The all have an “n” somewhere in their names.
Good job on the 4 letter words thing everyone. The two I was thinking of were “area” and “Ohio.”

Oops, I take that back… No “n” in Maxim Gorky,

They all had capital cities named after them.

Washington, D.C. is capital of the U.S.A.
Darwin is capital of the Northern Territory of Australia.
Monrovia is capital of Liberia.
Gorky (which now seems to have taken back its former name of Nizhnii Novgorod) is capital of the Oblast region of Russia.

<clap clap clap) well done!
