Unalike Words
Posted: Sun Jun 19, 2022 1:34 am
I've seen the following puzzle:
Unalike words are pairs of words which have no repeated letters either within them or between them (e.g UNALIKE and WORDS). Find the unalike words which maximise the products of their lengths (UNALIKE =7, WORDS = 5: product is 35)
The answer given to the riddle is one pair of words which scores 90, however I have found a few 90s, and I'm not sure how old the puzzle is or what dictionary is used.
Can anyone beat 90 using current Apterous-valid words? I reckon it must be possible......
Also, how many 90s can you find?
