Pentomino Words

Post Reply New Topic

Make words using only the following letters, all of which vaguely resemble pentomino(e)s: F, I, J, L, N, O, P, Q, R, S, T, U, V, W, X, Y, Z

Top-row, both hands (on QWERTY keyboard): pry*, rip, two
Right-hand, all rows (on QWERTY keyboard): moon, pull

Left-hand, all rows (on Dvorak keyboard): pox
Top-row, both hands (on Dvorak keyboard): fly, pry*
Middle-row, both hands (on Dvorak keyboard): nuts, sin, ton

*What a coincidence!

How did I screw that up?! Why did it take me this long to notice that I included a word with an "m" in it?! Whatever, I'm going to make up for it by posting some more "pentomino words" one can type on a standard QWERTY keyboard, using one's right hand on all rows:

LOON, LOOP, NO, NOON, NULL, PUN

Also, I typed them all in caps this time because letters that vaguely resemble pentomino(e)s tend to look uppercase.

xylofoon (you can't do that one in english )

Good job, traven! But what does the number 46 have to do with all of this?

forty-six < pentominoword (wordcheck brought the pic up)

FIRST, FOUR, FIFTY, SIXTY

Never mind, I was wrong to critique myself. Flip "W" upside-down and you get "M". So, the new and improved rules are to make words using the following letters: F, I, J, L-Z.

LIMO, MILL, MOLL, MOM
