letter        stem

number        panic

This is from all of the submissions so far - I'll maintain this list as I expect rejections to far outweigh acceptances.

The rule is related to the word - not individual letter(s)...

E.G. ACCEPTED: discount

E.G. REJECTED: viscount

Words that could function as two or more parts of speech get through the GGD?

:)

Words that could function as a noun and a verb get through the GGD?

Yep - you got it Perry. Noun and verb it is.

For people outside of the UK you might not have heard of "close" as a noun - its an alternative to cul-de-sac for a 'no through road' residential street.

My all time favourite use of that word was just outside Watford, Hertfordshire, UK in a place called Bushey. Beside a church, St Peter's, there was a cul-de-sac called "St Peter's Close" and guess what. They built a retirement village in it - St. Peter really was close! :P

Yup, Thalia, letters minus the vowels = consonants, my rule was:

If any sound or syllable in the word sounds like any consonant in the English alphabet, like Bee or Sea or Busy, it passes through the GGD.

Congratulations, Thalia!!! :thumbsup:

Now it's your turn!
