the way to do this is 1) choose words that don't have RSTLN E (hi wheel of fortune!)
2) choose words that have those words but are so OBSCURE that no one believes them.

Quin stole my reply.

Helix might be a good one. As might Zeitgeist if we'll allow words borrowed from other languages, because lots of people wouldn't think of that.

Nagger.

However if people tend to guess 'A' before 'I' (and they do), the joke is lost.

Um... how about synectoche? Or onomatopoeia?

Sure, they'd get the e pretty fast, but they'd probably look for consonants after that.

I know a few good ones like Anecdote, Alabama, and Allegretto. They all start with A: this is just a coincidence.

any word that doesn't have a lot of vowels, cause everyone guessed vowels first.

Use a letter that is rarely used in English like "ç" or "é" in the words "façade" and "protégé."

Then argue that they are different letters than "c" and "e."

You can also use Canadian or British spellings, or conversely if you ARE Canadian or British, use the American spelling.

They use it in the book 'Into Thin Air' so it's fair game.

I always do all the vowels first, unless it's clear that there are no more vowels to be had. So queue wouldn't work on me. :(

rubah
06-26-2008, 07:58 PM
well, there's an e in the middle and the end, so they'd probably think 'oh hey we got all the vowels on the first try' then go on to fail at consonants.

that is, everyone except you.

are proper nouns even allowed?
