Question
bonanova
OK, we're going to the next level.
Seven-letter words, no plurals, repeated letters or proper names.
Except:
- The Z-word is plural.
- The D-word, the K-word and the M-word each have one repeated letter.
To get you started, the X-word is listed in the spoiler.For one of them, the repeated letter is the initial letter.
It is obscure, the only one I could find that fits the letter pattern for this puzzle.
Read about the letter pattern in the spoiler.
