Nine letter word Challenge - New Version - 5

Nine letter word Challenge - New Version - 5

6
votes

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

This is a new version – there are 10 given letters.

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

Usually it is possible to find a 9 letter word – a 10 letter word gets 20 points immediately.

These are the letters for this challenge.

S C A

B E H

E C E D

The highlighted letter must be used - E

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

Example:

Life is a beach.

La vida es una playa.

life on a beach photo: Priceless Moments @ Tha Beach* 331993_327683837271690_1758232168_o.jpg

After the first 10 answers my nine letter word ends the challenge and the poster gets 20 points eventually.

This was the previous challenge

Ian, también la palabra "descabecé" tiene 9 letras, pero si la ponía iba a estar muy gráfica la foto. It means " ( I ) beheaded" - Yo descabecé... - 00e46f15, Feb 4, 2014
Interesting gracias Susy. - ian-hill, Feb 4, 2014

Please everyone!!! Follow the rules and don't post a 9 letter word until 10 answers have been posted! It ruins the fun of the game for everyone else. - AlyssaLTerry, Jan 11, 2014
