It is a fairly exotic Greek seafood dish (half a point awarded). I'll give the full answer as it seems to have stumped people. It's sea urchin salad.
The points as I count them then are; pdurrant: 4 Kumabjorn: 3 orlok: 2 Fbone: 1.5 issybird: 1 Over to the Grand Mouse! Last edited by Bilbo1967; 04-17-2013 at 04:08 AM. |

Goodness me.
Ok, here's a puzzle that stumped me. The following words all have something in common. Dresser Grammar Potato Revive Uneven Assess Can you find the connection, and any more words that would be a member of the list? Two points for the connection, and one point each for more words that fit! A chance for anyone to win, as I'll let the competition run for a full day after someone's found the connection! |

They all have palindromic sequences in them after the initial letter?

Harder than I thought. My list includes more than a few foreign words we have adopted into English common parlance, so may not count?

Wow. orlok is doing well. If I'd thought of it, I would have restricted the list to six letters or more.
But I will restrict it to four letters or more, and apply a sliding scale of points: four: 1 point five: 2 points six: 4 points seven: 6 points eight and above: 8 points |
