Jon Freeman BS: Word games (24) RE: BS: Word games 02 May 19


For the fun of it, I've just had a go at running through a word list (British and American spellings, size 70) downloaded from Aspell. I've only tried 4 and 5 letter words and only chosen what I'd think are the most likely vowel positions.

This is what I got. Lists with an asterisk are ones where I was doubtful about at least one word and can't find a definition in Chambers.

dabs, debs, dibs, dobs, dubs
