I have a new-in-the-pack US-made Remora that will go to the first person who can match twenty-one words I pulled from the letters in REMORA.

Rules:

1. Words must be common English. No proper names, acronyms, or abbreviations. No foreign words.
2. You can use each letter in the word REMORA only once. For instance, the word ERROR would not qualify because REMORA only has two R's.
3. So I can easily check your list, words have to be in alphabetical order. Please put each word in a new line.

I came up with twenty-one words in a first pass. First person to match all twenty-one words in my list wins the knife.


Bonus:
If the Remora winner gets my twenty-one words and more, I'll throw in a BK&T patch.
If you're already a Beckerhead and win the knife with my twenty-one words and more, I'll throw in a Beckerhead patch too.

Hmmm... might look over those rules again. :D

FWIW, I'll have post times and edit times so it'll be clear who got there first.

I just came up with a bunch of words. Did have to check the dictionary though, 'cause I didn't know if some of 'em were words at all. But they were, so it seems.

edit: well damn, ear was pretty obvious too... Didn't even see that 'till now.

Edit 2: alphabetical and some adjustments.

Well dang, there goes the contest! Good job G-shark!

Thanks for this, Guyon!

Contest is still live for a couple of reasons: (1) word match = incomplete and (2) posted rules not met.
 
Put them in alphabetical order. If there's an acronym in there, I'd like to know which one though. If there is one, scratch it from the list, I think I'm still at 21 even then.

Edit: Oh, I see, word match. Well... that's difficult :). I think that'd require posting all the words possible. Which could be done with some kind of program, which is what ponq already tried to mention, if I understand correctly. I could do that, but I'm not gonna, for the same reasons mentioned by ponq. Good luck to the other contestants, if I can't come up with a few more myself (what an edit of an edit :)).

I know this has nothing to do with the contest. So feel free to delete it or ask me to delete it.
Very impressive Guyon, My hat is off to you. 21 word in one pass out of Remora
 
G'shark is missing three words that I have.

Still missing two, but you're kicking butt. You got some I didn't see.
 
Hints:

To ___ is human.

___ rose by any other name would smell as sweet.
 
I thought the roe was gonna do it. Here's a roe skull with some Beckers. As a non-native speaker, I'm pretty much out of words now.

This one is done.
Remora, BK&T patch, and Beckerhead patch headed to Belgium.

Congrats, G'shark!
 
Sweet! Surprised not many others tried... Thanks a lot Guyon. Pretty cool idea, though not as easy as it sounded on my first read-through.

Honestly though... did you have 'roe'? I have to know:D
 
G'shark is missing three words that I have.

Oops. Missed that you already had mare. Well, that just pushed you a little harder. :D

No, I didn't have roe, but it's one I should have gotten. Common word for fish eggs.



Email me an address so I can get your prize winging east.
 
Common word for fish eggs.

Didn't even know that, I was thinking about the small-sized deer that runs around in our Western European forests.

And uhm, I gotta admit that there's a word in your list that I didn't have, when I look closer now.

You had 'ream' and I had 'rearm'... :thumbup:

Yeah, I skimmed rearm as ream because I was in a hurry. My mistake, your gain, and I've already called this one.
You got roe, rearm, moa, ormer, roamer, and remora (duh), all words I would have counted. Plus, you outhustled the hell out of everybody.
If anyone has an objection, they can take it up with Moose.

aero - shortened form of aerodynamic. No abbreviations.
omer - Hebraic and usually capitalized as proper. Probably not.
 
Thanks for clarifying. I know Omer as being a Belgian beer too, but then again that's a proper name as well. PM sent!
