I little harder this time... none of those easy 4-letter words Cool

Y B E

R E L

C I T

In there is one 9-letter word, and at least 20 words of FIVE or more letters, (no Proper nouns though)

Each word must include the RED letter...

How many can you add, without repetition?

Good start - though I do believe that Beryl is a proper noun, VG, which is not allowed in the rules (and I am in charge in this instance so my indecision is final) Mmmm it does feel good to be able to boss VG around for once!

Very Happy

It feels damn good to correct you too.

A beryl is a type of semi precious stone.............it's allowed!

Be3Al2(SiO3)6, Beryllium Aluminium Silicate is known as beryl, I agree VG, but in any case, I have decided it doesn't count as its not on my list.

Very Happy

No fair! Emeralds, topaz, etc. are all forms of beryl - and it was just an answer on last night's Jeopardy!, too!

JuanaLaLoca · Posted: Wed Jul 16, 2008 3:55 pm Post subject:

erect
tribe
creel
leery
trice

muppetmurderer · Posted: Wed Jul 16, 2008 4:53 pm Post subject:

OK, I concede - never let it be said that I am unfair or or unfriendly (please note VG!)

beryl is fine.

So not a bad start.....

Still got about 24 to find tho, (plus any other new words you might care to invent!)

Very Happy

Quite good Poppy -but in your enthusiasm, you omitted reading the rules... 5-letter words only.....

But very well done anyway Very Happy

(is that suitably patronising......?)

What's good enough for Juana is good enough for Poppy. And don't forget - Matron sets the rules. Wink

In fact MM, you specified that there should be no FOUR letter words not that there should be only FIVE letter words.

Now play nicely children.

muppetmurderer · Posted: Thu Jul 24, 2008 12:11 am Post subject:

Actually Poppy, in this case I set the rules - Matron is but an observer..

So to clarify - words for this puzzle must be 5 letters or more.

However as you are a girl, I'll go easy on you this time. Laughing

Hmmmm, I suspect there may be a barrage of four-letter words (none of them complimentary) heading this way....

They have in fact been mounted and placed on display as a warning to others. (under magnifying glass naturally)

I await with amusement MM's slant on the fact that they have been mounted!!!! Cool

No, I thought not.

You'll never win MM. Sure you can put up a fight, but we'll just wear you down until you've lost the will to live. It's a lot like a marriage. Wink
