"..how about ʻueʻ" (32)

No, nothing comes to mind. without a British-Iriwh spelling in a James Joyce edition, I wouldnʻt have know "ty" either.

"ty" is easy. Tyrant - A cruel and oppressive ruler (i.e. Putin)

"ty" is easy (34_
Now that I think of it, yes. And in the past year, Iʻve scanned (seldom read through) several books on tyrants*!

*My obliging spell-check gives me "treats" when Iʻve typed "tyrants." Canʻt believe my typing was that far off.

Ignoring 162 and working off 161:

t e p e e (or I have also seen the spelling t e e p e e - same last 2 letters)

I'm going to test the waters and see what the rules are when the next word is impossible:

(Good luck finding a word that starts with NT - and if you can, the next time I see an EL, I'll use Elect - CT - LOL!)

>165 ChessFanatic: let us know.
