This also answers the puzzle:
List all the 10-letter words you can make using the two-letter symbols
for the chemical elements.
And even though "alliterate" is among the answers, there are no
two-letter symbols that use the same letter twice.
Mark,
The *successive* pairs for "alliterate " are al-li-te-ra-te.
I think your list of 10-letter words is somewhat incomplete, even if
it does contain the correct answer. For example, it contains
"zoological" but not "zoologists".
Right. I need a new dictionary. I have a problem with dictionaries.
My larger (160,000 word) dictionary has plurasl but it also has a
great many bizarre words. A search for words compatible with
a***h
where * is a wildcard, yields
abash
airth
aitch
aleph
Allah
almah
almeh
apish
awash
azoth
My smaller dictionary yields a more reasonable list:
abash
aitch
Allah
apish
awash
but this dictionary has no plurals. What I need is a dictionary
which has only the words I want. :)
