Here's one for you, Weber: Can you name an English word that satisfies the following?: A_S_E (that is, fill in the blanks and make an English word) | ||
| Weber_gregston (Weber_gregston) Username: Weber_gregston Registered: 03-2008 Posted From: 194.176.105.47 |
only one letter per gap or several? | ||
| Weber_gregston (Weber_gregston) Username: Weber_gregston Registered: 03-2008 Posted From: 194.176.105.47 |
Aisle using only one letter - several words spring to mind when more are allowed | ||
| Chris_morris (Chris_morris) Username: Chris_morris Registered: 04-2008 Posted From: 12.165.240.116 |
AISLE is correct -- well done. The trick about it is that all provided letters are silent. (Well, it fooled me at least.) Good job! |
