Nine letter word games are very popular in the English speaking world.

The idea is to make words of 3 or more of the given letters.

The letter highlighted must be used. A

Usually it is possible to find a 9 letter word.

These are the letters for this challenge.

S O T

C A L

P O I

Find an English word and then write a sentence in English and Spanish.

Example:

Postal services are one of the oldest forms of long distance communication.

Los servicios postales son una de las formas más antiguas de comunicación de larga distancia.

When a nine letter word is found the game ends and the winner get 20 points.

This was the previous challenge.

That's it. I think....:) - rac1, Aug 18, 2013
It needs one more letter. - 0095ca4c, Aug 18, 2013
Yes, you're right, I see that now. :) - rac1, Aug 19, 2013
Topical is an adjective and there are no plural adjectives in English. - ian-hill, Aug 19, 2013
Hi Ian....I've heard doctors use it for medications that must be applied externally. The way they use it, it sounds like a noun, "I will give you a prescription for some topicals. However, I bow to your expertise. I will remove it. - 0095ca4c, Aug 19, 2013
In that case put it back amiga because if you do add an S to an adjective it does become a noun x :) - ian-hill, Aug 19, 2013
Ok...it's like packing your 'smalls' when you go on vacation. jaja - 0095ca4c, Aug 19, 2013

:) - ian-hill, Aug 19, 2013
Yes, I was trying to bold the letter A, and since I already had it bold, I thought Ah-ha I'll put it in italics and of course the wine I'm enjoying right now has me a little goofy! (Just teasing of course, it's a coca cola) - bandit51jd, Aug 19, 2013
