Words from Letters – 5

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 E I O U

E Z T R L

K C M N P

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.

Example:

Gutenberg is well known in the world of print.

Gutenberg es bien conocido en el mundo de la impresión.

Gutenberg photo: Juan Gutenberg JuanGutenberg.jpg

This was the previous challenge.

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

Ian, is that a rant or are you just showing zeal for the game. How should we react; recoil, erupt, be poetical or use caution?

¿ Ian, es que una diatriba o simplemente una demostración del entusiasmo por el juego? ¿Cómo debemos reaccionarla; retrodecer, , estallar de furia, ser poético o utilizar la precaución?
