Nine letter word Challenge - 26

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.

H B E

C E O

M A T

The letter highlighted must be used. E

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

Example:

She tried to take the heat out of the situation.

Intentó descargar la tensión.

If you can’t stand the heat (get out of the kitchen)

Si no sabes hacerlo, quítate de en medio.

//hot kitchen photo: Hound Dog Hot Spot - Kitchen HoundDogHotSpot-Kitchen2.jpg

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

This was the previous challenge.
