I have actually played that last one in a game of scrabble. Imagine what a difference that makes. Instead of having a load of awkward rubbish you can just play a bingo and draw 7 new tiles.

Although that covers only 4 more letters from L to O we are going to stop there because if there are too many words in the list most people throw up their hands in horror and give up. Hopefully that is about the right size to be digestible. It is amazing how many different currencies and coins there are, so we will have to continue this theme another day

Happy Scrabbling
