Okay, here’s the game: Make a list of six-letter words starting with N, using at least three numbers to stand in for letters, within these parameters:
[ul][li]Words must start with the letter N[/li][li]Words must have six characters[/li][li]Words must end in two letters, or one numeral followed by a letter, or two numerals[/li][li]Letters, if used, (except for the N) must be in the last position or the penultimate and last positions[/li][li]The three characters following the N must be numerals[/li][li]Acceptable numerals are 0 (‘o’), 1 (‘i’), 5 (‘s’) and 8 (‘ate’) only[/li][li]The first numeral (after the N) may not be 0[/li][li]‘Sound-alike’ words are acceptable (e.g., n8ions = ‘nations’)[/ul][/li]Examples:
n810ns = nations
n155an = Nissan
n1ss18 = initiate (okay, that one’s a stretch)
Indeed it’s based on N-numbers. But not for my plane, since I don’t have one. Of course you can have N-numbers shorter than N+5 (e.g., N1KE), but I thought the game would be more challenging using standard-length strings.
Well there is N155EN which is a sort of hut invented by Peter N Nissen.
My spell/check dictionary lists only NATE and nates begining nate*, no niate* words
only Niobe and niobium beginning nio*, ond no ns* words at all, just nisi ans nisin for nisi*, no niso* words at all.
Using 8 as just at gives your N810NS but it dosen’t exactly scan.
nates means buttocks, so could be used for 2 word combo.
a stutter on the N could give us N925ER nine-to-fiver but that is very weak.
