The clue demands that the Y word have a Z in it, leading away from YOGURT, etc, to YOWZER. * Words that are perhaps not terribly common.----------------.

0 bonanova Posted March 22, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 22, 2009 yeoman? 3/6. I added the Y word to the list of not really common words. Two of those left to get: F and Y. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Guest Posted March 22, 2009 Report Share Posted March 22, 2009 Hoping someone can help with Y. I'm up against a wall... Y shares 4 with Z Z: ZYGOTE so Y must contain at least one of {G,T,Z} I can't find any y-word that has Z, and the only word I know that conatins G &/or T ( and 2 other letters from zygote) is YOGURT, which we know (several times) is not correct. What other Y words have a G &/or T? I'm off to bed now. Good luck to whoever is still working on this! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 bonanova Posted March 23, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 23, 2009 You could do a few other words, discover the clue, then come back to Y_____. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Question
bonanova
Hoping Professor T does not mind my giving a try at his genre.
Six-letter words, no plurals, repeated letters or proper names.
Highlighting the 4s and 5s.
Look for a clue.
One or two off-beat words perhaps, but the clue should help.
