Prefix this?
What three letter word can prefix the following three words to make three new words? Ache, Nest, and Drum.
This one took me forever to figure out because of 'nest'. I kept saying to myself 'EARnest' is not a word. because I was pronouncing, in my mind, EAR as it would sound with EARache or EARdrum.
This explanation is pretty hard to write down, but if you were standing in front of me, I could explain it in about two seconds.
Leave your answer or, if you want to post a question of your own, send me an e-mail. Look in the about section to find my e-mail address. If it's new, I'll post it soon.
Please don't leave spam or 'Awesome blog, come visit mine' messages. I'll delete them soon after.
