Nine letter word Challenge - 25

Nine letter word Challenge - 25

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.

Usually it is possible to find a 9 letter word.

These are the letters for this challenge.

S E H

D E W

R G O

The letter highlighted must be used. E

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

Example:

I have built a shed in my garden.

He construido un cobertizo en mi jardín.

For my nine letter word the poster will get 20 points eventually.

This was the previous challenge.

I learned 'puta'. Is that wrong? - 0095ca4c, Nov 3, 2013
Not necessarily - puta is used very broadly, including I3itch and $lut as well. Also, as an adjective for anything annoying, like we use darn (or similarly spelled words) - rogspax, Nov 3, 2013
That was used frequently when I played cards for money in Bolivia. :) - ian-hill, Nov 3, 2013
