I'll have to wait a bit to see if I can accept Y as a consonant when used in that manner to give Kymera her point(s) before responding to yours, Mat.

How about after the first 4 entries valued at 2 points, I hand out 1 point for those up to number 20? ;)

Hey, I hope you're not trying to shortchange me. You have any idea how far back into my education I had to reach for those last three words? My head still hurts.

As far as I'm concerned Kymera has 4 consonants in it.

Shortchange? Never.

You're one of the few who managed to submit a question I could not figure out! :p

I'll be fair, even if Kymera has only 3 consonants in it.

Second try :-)

Weedy Willie = 1
Rastus = 9
Wig = 13
Twig = 13
Swig = 13

for a total of 49 parts

That's it!

You're pretty good.

3 points.

No additional questions today. I'm heading off to Cobra's for a while. https://forums.windrivers.com/images.../2005/03/1.gif

I'm leaving you all with 129 and 132 to deal with.

I will compile all the 6-consonant words over the weekend and post back the scores here for those who try to answer it. I'm keeping the 20 word limit, so the first 20 accepted answers will get points.

Next week I will be in training, so I will not be able to post during lunchtime. Instead, I will try to pop in a few questions in the evening (EST for me).

Thanks for your understanding. https://forums.windrivers.com/images.../2005/03/1.gif

Anyone ever try Avogadro's number, or mole, for this one?

A) 14

Because it it is written using eight letters.
