Thanks, Roland. I was afraid I had narrowed the possibilities too much but I was aware of Venerable Bede and thought you might well have a book about him,..I was not wrong! This game has been active for over six years, I think, and I hope it continues.

Roland, what word in #279 does your #280 play on? i can't find any. The rules don't allow one to use a hypenated word to play on a non-hyphenated word..
See Rule 7:
7. A hyphenated word is one word, not two, e.g., "thunder-clouds," and if used must be repeated in full, not in part only.

what word in #279 ....play on? (281)
Sorry. I guess I was playing on "Centennial" and
forgot that 280ʻs word should have been
"BI-centennial". I wondered why I couldnʻt
find my title /when I looked up ". . .a centennial
history". Then forgot that I was posting a
a word that isnʻt in 279
