I thought I knew the rule, but if I did "billion" would have made it thru as well.

I thought it was words with an animal at the beginning or end.

oops! sorry. :blush: i guess i didnt look at it closely enough. but yeah, ill give it to you. it was actually just an animal somewhere in the word, but thats close enough.

Hmmm... how about:

sequoia eunoia facetious a doe

Absolutely - spot on!

I was going to add that Y was a wildcard but I didn't have to worry.
