[bon]

OK everyone, remember the words must be at least 3 letters long.
In this game I figure there will be 8-3 letter words, 13-4 letter words, 3-5 letter words, and 1 -6 letter word.

The letters are as follows: E R U S M F.

If I were one of the sort of peoples to wear perfume or indeed one of the fumers I'm sure the best place to wear such stuff would be on my femurs (thigh bones).

[[... eremus ...

p.s. it's a bulb... garden variety]]

P>S> Edited later to add... I might have to pass on that one.
That's how I say it, but went away to look in my gardening book they spell it eremurus although I found the same plant called eremus online. So, I'm not sure "eremus" is correct now.

[Lara]

thought of other one when left computer... :rolleyes:

coffieholic said muse...

... muser ... one who muses

[bewolf]

Bewolf....fumers can't be found in any of my dictionaries...


OPTED public domain English dictionary (http://msowww.anu.edu.au/~ralph/OPTED/)

Fumer (n.) One who makes or uses perfumes. (therefore two of them are fumers)

[Lara]

Yes, it's a word we'd see written or said as "one who fumes" as in "one who is angry"... fumer.

It's listed as a noun in dictionary.com

edited to add: I wouldn't use the word.
I also just looked in my Oxford dictionary at home here, but it's not in there.

Just found stuff from my country about a zinc slag fumer lol It's used in mining industry. sheesh, the things we learn every day...
zinc slag fumer (http://72.14.253.104/search?q=cache:EeX44QNZVeMJ:www.minerals.csiro.au/main/pg2.asp%3Fid%3D36461+zinc+slag+fumer&hl=en&gl=au&ct=clnk&cd=3&client=firefox-a)

I'll stop now. *headache

[bon]

winnie.and lara....you can't use the e twice......(((hugs))))......there is only one e.....good words though!!!!
And Bewolf, sorry bout the fumers....the dictionaries I checked didn't have it.

Good news everyone......we have only ONE 3 letter word left....hint...starts with a "r", FOUR -4 letter words left starting with "r", "s", "e", "f".
That is unless Bewolf and others come in with words I missed!!!! You go guys!!!!! bon
