September Harvest

September is already here. Quite nice letters in SEPTEMBER, except for the fact that the only vowels are E’s. However there are still 11 words of 7 letters you can make out of those letters and one 8 letter word as well.

That is your topical quiz. How many of those words can you find out of the letters for SEPTEMBER.

September has reminded me that you can have too much of a good thing. E’s are nice, but when you get 4 or 5 of them you need some 5 letter words that help you play off 3 of them in one turn. Instead of giving you the meanings I have given you the words that can be made by hooking a letter in front or behind

BESEE BESEEM, BESEEN, BESEES

DEERE DEERES

DEEVE DEEVED, DEEVES
