At least 1 and possibly 2 of the double letters have to be vowels. Only ee and oo are possible as double vowels in English. I dispute that: naan, skiing, taxiing Though none of those are the answer. I can't find any with uu however. |

Correct. You left out abstemious. At least 1 and possibly 2 of the double letters have to be vowels. Only ee and oo are possible as double vowels in English. I dispute that: naan, skiing, taxiing Though none of those are the answer. I can't find any with uu however. I stand corrected on the double i. Naan is a foreign word. Aardvark is not. I should have said that only ee and oo are common as double vowels in English. |
