I am bored to tears...soooooo lets play a game.........
Rules are: The first person to solve the 5 words, posts 5 more for others to unscramble:
1. UBLEBB = We don't like them from our skimmer
2. EDMORFE = We fight for it
3. AMECIERC = We all scream 4
4. PLACEUASPE = Goes great on Patato pancakes
5. OFPERLI = Look to the side
Nothing. Nothing at all...Do you need hints?

The longest one I can come up with, using only once on a letter is: equip 5 letters
I was just bored...and you can't really change the rules of a game, but I understand nobody wanted to play. So I was letting the thread die.

naw, use the letters more than once. 5 letters is just more than half way there. No one can unscramble the letters for the word? Are there no insomniacs on the boards?

I got the first 4 within a few seconds, last one had me stumped.

reefraff......AWWW you were playing? You should have posted what you had...I have to laugh about the last one, I got it from the top of the page "my PROFILE" so it was right in front of you..
Monsiniour...TYPEWRITER (10) is the longest word I could make if I can use a letter more than once. LOL...WRITER (6) if not.
levenjac...a WORD has to be found in a dictionary if it doesn't, it isn't a word.
LOL...you guys and Meowzer were no help when I was bored. My feet were hurting and I couldn't do anything but watch TV or be on the computer. I am going to look for some better games, some that folks might want to actually play, because I work night shift, and I'm sure I will get bored again some day.

Some of the strangest things remain with you from elementary school...like the longest word in the English language:
pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis

LOl...I looked it up: Remembering a word is useless if you don't know the meaning...alas it isn't really a word.
Pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis is, according to the Oxford English Dictionary, "a factitious word alleged to mean 'a lung disease caused by the inhalation of very fine silica dust, causing inflammation in the lungs.'" A condition meeting the word's definition is normally called silicosis.

A webmd.com search concludes with nothing for Pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis, and a lung disease for silicosis. So the Oxford is correct.
However I find it strange that the word "factitious" means artificial or contrived. Would think that a word containing the word fact would mean otherwise. I'm so confused!!!!!!!

When I looked it up...This is what I found.

EDIT: Oh crap...there IS a www.factitious.org....
