You don't need a special rule for this for the exact same reason that you don't need to specify a rule that a W (Double-U) cannot use UU. It's all taken care of by how the words are entered in the dictionary. Our dictionary contains CWM and VACUUM. It does NOT contain CUUM* nor VACWM*. There is no chance for confusion, because in one case, you have one character, and, in the other, you have two. Drew Allen Philadelphia, PA
