This list ended up longer than I suspected, and there are many many more words that are obscure or scientific or variations on the words below.

Here are the 39 words I came up with that contain the letters NDR, in that order, with no intervening letters: android, androgen, androgynous, cylindrical, dandruff, dendrite, downdraft, (entendre… not sure if this one counts, because it’s French), foundry, fundraiser, handrail, hindrance, hundred, husbandry, hypochondria, indri (a lemur, and a “crossword puzzle word”), kindred, laundry, mandrake, mandrill, mitochondria, rhododendron, pachysandra, palindrome, panjandrum (what a great word), polyandry, raindrop, scoundrel, spindrift, splendor, sundrops (a plant), sundry, syndrome, tendril, tundra, undramatic, undrinkable, undress (and a few more un-words that are less interesting), windrow, and wondrous.

Have a wondrous rest of the week.

Three-Peats: NDR

Filed under: Three Peats — Tags: , , , — puzzlebits @ 3:34 pm

I noticed on my stats page that this is my 300th post. So I decided to have today’s puzzle use three letters from the word “hundred.”

How many common, uncapitalized words can you think of that contain the three letters NDR within them somewhere, with no other letters in between?

I can think of six right away. I expect to have about 20 words by Wednesday, when I’ll post my list.

Have a great day.
