Alphabetic letter selections

Post by David Pooley »

You'd have to suspend the selection rules a little but if you limit the letters selection to successive letters of the alphabet, the most fruitful selection is MNOPQRSTU which yields NOSTRUM and RUMPOTS. No other such selection can provide a 7 letter word.

There's also some interesting analytics of the numbers round which you can find here: http://datagenetics.com/blog/august32014/index.html
