Would anyone who didn't cheat like to give us the answer please?
RE: Puzzle a Day! - JJB - 20-02-2023
I think Moth is elected and Pros has to explain her alternate answer. I'll just sit on the naughty step for cheating

Letters can be spelt. FHLMNORSX all begin with a vowel - eff, aitch, ell, em, and so on. I presume A and I are not included because they are one letter spellings. the remaining letters of the alphabet all begin with a consonant.
That's why it drives me up the wall when people say "haitch" - there's only one aitch in aitch!

Very good, Moth but its not the Official Answer. Makes sense though.
Over to Pros for her answer.
RE: Puzzle a Day! - Proserpina - 20-02-2023
Well, my wrong answer is similar to Moth's. When you pronounce all the letters, they end with a consonant sound (the way I pronounce "O" sounds like "O-w").

Again, nice try but not the Official answer, which, if you've cheated like that norty JJB, you will know.

I'm not norty, miss, just desperate and impatient (and ignorant on occasion)
RE: Puzzle a Day! - Moth - 21-02-2023
OK, then is it that (because their spellings all begin with a vowel) they are all preceded by "an" as in - an aitch, an em, an ell.
Clutching at straws......
RE: Puzzle a Day! - Veggie - 21-02-2023
Sorry, No, Moth. Tell me when you want the answer.
RE: Puzzle a Day! - Moth - 22-02-2023
No other letters rhyme with them?
