Title: Words
Post by Ronin77 on Jun 14^th, 2003, 5:33am

1)What is the longest word in the english language that is in alphabettical order? You can repeat letters if you have too. eg. all, ant.

2)What are the 2 longest words that do not repeat any letter? eg postman, junky.

3)What words have all the vowels in reverse order?

4)What words have all the vowels in alphabettical order?

Not sure if this has been posted before but if it has then please link it.

_{Changed to show that there are more words that are in reverse alphabetical order and more in alphabetical order}
Hints:
1)[hide]you're almost there[/hide]

2)[hide]they both have 15 letters[/hide]

3)[hide]think below the ground[/hide]

4)sorry cant think of a clue for this one.

Don't forget for #4, the shortest word in the English language with all the vowels in alphabetical order: [hide]caesious (a shade of grey/blue/lavender)[/hide].

I'll have to work on the rest, but surely there must be more than one word with all the vowels in reverse alphabetical order?

It's really sad, but I went out for a meal on Satuday night and we spent a good part of the evening thinking of words for #1. Not surprisingly, we found quite a few.
[hide]6-letter words:
abbess, abhors, accent, accept, access, accost, adders, almost, begins, bellow, billow, biopsy, cellos, chills, chilly, chinos, chintz, chivvy, choosy, choppy, effort, floors, floppy, glossy and knotty[/hide].
However, I finally came up with this: [hide]billowy (7-letters)[/hide].

I've not had much luck with #2. The best I could find was:
[hide]copyrightable, hydromagnetic, unpredictably and unproblematic; which only have 13-letters[/hide].

For #3, I found quite a few:
[hide]duoliteral (consisting of two letters), muscoidea (two winged fly), pulmonifera (artificially confined body of water), quodlibetal (a dubious adjective form of the noun, quodlibet: formal disputation of a theological issue), subcontinental, subhyoidean, and uncomplimentary.[/hide]

Similarly, #4 has lots!
[hide]abstemious, abstemiously, abstentious, acheilous (lacking lips), acheirous (lacking hands), affectious, annelidous (nature of annelid: type of worm), arsenious (relating to arsenic compounds), arterious (of, like or in the arteries), caesious, facetious, facetiously, placentious (pleasing) and tragedious (tragical).[/hide]

I was just preparing lessons for tomorrow and I thought that this problem which I'm giving to one of my younger classes might interest some of you:

5. What is the longest word which, when written in capital letters, has a vertical line of reflective symmetry? What about a horizontal line of reflective symmetry? What about both?
(So as to not influence the problem solving process we can address issues of which letters 'work' as they arise).

The second is a bit harder, unfortunatly i cant give anymore clues as i dont know what the words mean. for 3 and 4 you are correct in all of them but i never thought there were so many. I will try to figure out your puzzle too sir col but it may take a little bit. All i can say about you going out and talking abouit words is i think that is the best way to spend a night.

Yes. But not by much, as it seems to be an artificial plural. Isn't this word an uncountable noun?

A trawl of online dictionaries for WOOLOOMOOLOO turns up nothing. What does it mean?
To me, it sounds like something an Aborigine might get up to on his honeymoon.

(My word is not a plural.) :P

Title: Re: Words

For 6-letter repeats I got:
[hide]assessorships, classlessness, dispossesses, indivisibility, invisibilities, odontonosology (dentistry), possessionless, possessiveness, proctocolonoscopy (examination of the rectum/colon), senselessness and taramasalata[/hide].

For 7-letters: [hide]indivisibilities, stresslessness and successlessness, but I didn't come up with indistinguishabilities; I couldn't find it in my dictionaries, T&B?[/hide]

I couldn't find any 8-letter repeats at all? :'(

Well, 'indistinguishability' is there - and 'ability' can take a plural.
However, although somebody can have 'abilities', we usually say 'the ability to [verb] something'. :-/

BTW, if you view N, S, or Z upside-down they remain unchanged. Do they qualify for horizontal symmetry?

Title: Re: Words
Post by Sir Col on Jun 16^th, 2003, 11:26am

That would only work for rotational symmetry, which was going to be my next question.

Being English, I don't like the word, CHECKBOOK (9-letters), so the longest words I found for horizontal symmetry were: BEDECKED and EXCEEDED (8-letters). For vertical symmetry, the best I found was MAMMOTH and MAXIMUM (7-letters), and obviously we'd write them vertically, but I like your 8-letter word: AUTOMATA. If we permit place names, I think that OHIO is the best we can find with both symmetries.

As promised...

Isn't the last part (same word upside down) almost the same as horizontal symmetry? Your own words, BEDECKED and EXCEEDED, are the same upside down.
Did you mean some other transformation?

Title: Re: Words
Post by Sir Col on Jun 16^th, 2003, 11:38am

I think you're interpreting it as T&B did too. Sorry for the confusion, but I meant that if you wrote it on a piece of paper and turned the paper upside down (rotated it 180^o), it would either read as another word or the same word.

Title: Re: Words
Post by Gerd on Jun 16^th, 2003, 11:58am

Hi T&B,

the first time I saw the word 'Wooloomooloo' was in a book of Martin Gardner, and it was part of a riddle made by Sam Lloyd. There I read, that it is the name of the harbour in Sidney (I think, you're right with the Aborigines :)).
And TOOMATOOGOOROO (a spiny New Zealand shrub) comes from the same part of the world.
And possessionlessness is singular but not better than my further word.

I have a lot of fun with languages/words, but of course I can do it better in my native language (german).

I wish you a nice day :)
Gerd

Wow, lots of interesting puzzles to work on. By the way, you could use Z in the rotational problem.

With regards to the German puzzles, do we count letters like Ö as OE or as a separate vowel? Could one of our German speakers be an authority on this?

Some german words with all vowels:

in order:

in reverse order:
Utopienart (nature of a utopia)

not in order:
8 - Autopsie, Alufolie
7 - Eunomia (a greek goddess), Eisauto (an iceman is a nice man ;))
6 - Bioaue (a Aue is a beauty spot beneath a river)
5!!! - If space travel to Io is possible and Io has rivers, one could say there surely is a Ioaue. :D

Word with 12 consonants in a row:

Title: Re: Words
Post by wowbagger on Jun 17^th, 2003, 2:30am

AFAIK, you can consider umlauts as vowels. They originate from denoting a change in pronunciation, which was at first denoted by writing a small "e" over the vowel (a,o,u). Later this changed to the two dots. However, I'm not into linguistics, so I don't really
know.
In crosswords and non-German electronic environments, you typically write ae, oe, ue - which is not too useful for the ordered-vowels words, except for "ae". How about an "Aedilbonus"? :D
It might be interesting to include the umlauts when looking for words containing all vowels, though.

I think we ought to be careful here lest we confuse anybody. Not only does one count two letters in your examples, the pronunciation is completely different. We don't have diphthongs here, but two seperate vowels (diaeresis). This is often denoted by a trema (like in "Alëuten" or the French "Noël"), making it look like an umlaut. I suspect these unusual combinations of vowels stem from borrowing.

I really like your "Ioaue", Gerd. ;D
