Words from Letters – 3

votes

Word games are very popular in the English speaking world.

This is a new version. It replaces the old 9 letter game.

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

These are the 15 letters for this challenge.

A B C D E

F H I L M

O U E T S

Find as many words as possible. Who can find the longest word?

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

There is no limit on the number of answers per member.

Example:

The first black and white films were silent.

Las primeras películas en blanco y negro se quedaron en silencio.

This was the previous challenge

There is no "official" corrector for this game so please make suggestions where you can.
