Not a Four Letter Word
Complete the three words on the left and all three words on the right hand side with one three letter word in the middle.
To be clear, there will be six words. PAR _ _ _ HAT _ _ _ MAR _ _ _ _ _ _ EYE _ _ _ HOT _ _ _ DEN The missing three letters are all the same in all six words.
Well, "red" would produce "Parred", "Hatred", "Marred", "redeye", "red hot", and "redden"; but I don't know that "par" can be used as a verb, and "red hot" is two words...

Is it supposed to be the SAME three-letter word in the middle of each line?
ReplyDeleteYes, the same three letter word should complete all three words on the left and begin all three words on the right.

ReplyDeleteAh, I was thinking it was THREE words, nine letter each. Oops...
