: : : : : : : : : : : We are having a problem in class.
: : : : : : : : : : : Can anyone help with a word that uses R, E, W, O, O, N, D ? All letters used only once! quick response if possible...

: : : : : : : : : : I'd like to help but my mind doesn't work that way. Maybe some of the other guys will check in.

: : : : : : : Am I understanding the question properly?

: : : : : : Is the answer a 7-letter word that's an anagram of the given letters, or is it a longer word that contains those letters and at least one more?

: : : : : One anagram of the letters (see my post below) is ONE WORD. If the question arose in a context involving verbal tricks, maybe that's the answer.

: : : : $5 says that you're right.

At least we have children who are still intrigued by the language... There is hope.
