votes

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.

T H E

M A R

R O W

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

Example:

This is the marrow.

Esta es la médula.

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

This was the previous challenge.

Corrections are welcome. - 0083f5dc, Aug 19, 2013
Your sentence in Spanish is correct understandable. Technical term would be "gusano auditivo" (via wikipedia :P) but we commonly say "tener una canción metida en la cabeza" (to have a song stuck in your head). - 003492fc, Aug 19, 2013
Usually are bad songs :( Damn you, brain! - 003492fc, Aug 19, 2013
Thank you, atxeko. Very funny:)) - 0083f5dc, Aug 19, 2013
