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. E

Usually it is possible to find a 9 letter word.

These are the letters for this challenge.

T E A

T E N

B M A

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

Example:

A bat is used to play cricket.

Un murciélago se utiliza para jugar al cricket.

No not this one

But this one

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

This was the previous challenge.

Very nice - but it didn't stop this being the shortest yet of these challenges :) - ian-hill, Aug 23, 2013
I'm sorry because I stoped your game, but like I said it was my 1. time so I didn't know that it will be over; I will not play it never again! - 00b5f6c6, Aug 23, 2013
As we say in England - No probs amiga :) - ian-hill, Aug 23, 2013
Oh and do play again ok? - ian-hill, Aug 23, 2013
lilium don't take my comments as criticism. I am impressed someone learning can get the 9 letter word. Perhaps Ian should let the game continue after 9 letter word found. - Mardle, Aug 23, 2013
