Yodell, you only have to figure out the rule. Theoretically there are an infinite amount of words that can fit thru the doors depending on what the rule is. Some rules used in the past have been:

- same number of vowels as consonants

- at least 3 letters in common with posters name

- Some rule I can't recall having to do with the syllables in the spanish equivalent

- Word contains an animal.

- only 1 vowel used.

Dave's rule is tough but I'm determined to figure this one out.

I didn't check the words that weren't in lists (like the last couple posts), since some listed words made it through. Thalia's threat apparently worked since two words from her post made it in.

The rule does not involve solutions to BrainDen puzzles (Maquis is right about the headache it would cause for me), nor does it involve any foreign languages, nor the poster as I stated before.

ACCEPTED:  

youngling  

played  

cabbage  

championship  

bravado 

handcuffed 

forbiddidng

conscience

intended

search

me neither.

Hmmm, championship makes it thru but courtship does not.

Played goes thru but player is blocked.

Search and searchlight are in, but lighthouse is blocked.

None of peace's words went through. I must admit that searchlight was quite exceptional and made it through the doors with flying colors. :ph34r:

But we don't need this to last all YEAR, so I will drop a small word.

1) two letters have to be next to each other in the word and in the alphabet

...some excpetions: banana, lighthouse, year

2) the word must have a word within a syllable thats not already a word

...exceptions: danger, graduating

^^ i dont know if someone can build off of those, but...
