bonanova Posted January 23, 2015 Report Share Posted January 23, 2015 I drew five letters from the Scrabble pile. Amazingly, they were the five vowels, a e i o u. I discarded two, at random, and drew two different consonants. Playing with these five letters, I arranged them into a 1-syllable word I rearranged them into a 2-syllable word I rearranged them again, into a 3-syllable word. What were my five letters, and what were the words? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 DejMar Posted January 26, 2015 Report Share Posted January 26, 2015 (edited) Your set of three words could be one of the following: AEI + DM = (1) AIMED, (2) AMIDE, (3) MEDIA AEI + DS = (1) AIDES, (2) ASIDE, (3) IDEAS AEO + DR = (1) OARED, (2) ADORE, (3) OREAD As the game involved was Scrabble, the first set has the highest point value, though the second set has the best chance of hooking for a high score.

0 bonanova Posted January 27, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 27, 2015 Great job. Three sets of letters that work. Your second set was the set I had in mind. I mentioned Scrabble just to suggest the idea of moving tiles around to make anagrams. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
