Title: Who picks these words?
Post by: Tom44 on August 03, 2020, 01:14:25 PM

The most common letter in the English language is E.  Once again, a word with no e's.  I feel like the shark attacking manikins after a ship wreck who turns to a companion and says "What is this? Some kind of cruel hoax?"  [Farside cartoon]  C'mon, guys - I need some e's to work with!

Here is a couple for the grand kids ;

 I am the beginning of the end, the end of every place. I am the beginning of eternity, the end of time and space. What am I?

What starts with the letter E & ends with the letter E but only has one letter in it?

Excellent & of course the answer to the first riddle was the letter E

Speaking of "who picks these words" ... today's Standard (5th April 2021) strikes me as being some sort of late April Fool's joke.

I can't see any way of making just ONE nine-letter word out of that collection of letters, let alone two ...

EDIT: just 10 seconds after posting this, I found the two nine-letter words.

Even so, this puzzle is probably one of the most exasperating I've played to date.

Yet there are now a boatload of rosettes!
