Nine letter word(s) for woodworking

Nov 20, 2007 24 Replies

Working on some Sudoko like puzzles for a newsletter and need some nine letter word or words. The letters can not repeat so words like "wood", "cherry", etc. are not allowed, and they aren't nine letters.



I've come up with "brad point", "workbench" and some more, but wracking my brain for more. Anyone got some ideas?



If I use it, I'll send you the puzzle.

Router bit and Miter Slot won't work - two "t's". Pin Nailer is out as well two "i's".

Thanks for "Cold brews". I like that one!

Dove Tails only one that work. The letters can only be used once.

Ah, your examples didn't make it clear that the letters couldn't repeat at all anywhere. :-)

Some of these only count as "in jokes", but...

Then I got bored. The computer lists 5,796 possibilities, not including another 2,002 proper names.

grep '^.........$' /usr/share/dict/words | grep -v '\(.\).*\1' | grep '^[a-z]*$'

Oh, yardstick.

If you just whipped that up on the spot, I bow to your regex-fu.

Thanks for that! Lots of words and I consider this "contest" closed with that list!

Thanks all for doing this. Will see how this develops!

Oh, and Miter Cuts too (I hope I did not miss anyone else typing this in my haste to post another suggestion) Marc

OTOH I'm a software engineer at Red Hat, so it's kinda expected of me ;-)
