perplexus.info :: Word Problems : That’s ENTERTAINMENT

That’s ENTERTAINMENT (Posted on 2024-01-14)

MAGMA, ONION, RESTORE, ENTERTAINMENT, ABRACADABRA etc.

The above list consists of words structured ABA, where A is a sequence of 2 or more letters and B of 1 letter or more. The concatenations A and B may be meaningless, but the final word must be non-esoteric, appearing in a respectable dictionary.

See how far ( maximal 2A+B) you can go, you will probably manage without my samples, but try to get an uninterrupted (lengthwise) listing of words from 5 letters up.

A different search gave the ones with longest As,

which I found more interesting.

(I omitted uricosuric and some others as esoteric).

For me, UNDERGROUNDER seemed the best.
