Day #3

Days to book launch: 26
Days to BEA in NYC: 12

HAPPY WEDNESDAY! And Happy Birthday to Rachael, Sarah, and Strauss! Quite the day for birthdays :)

Today's question is for fans of words: The word 'balloon' has two double letters in a row, l-l-o-o. What is the only word in the English language with three double letters in a row?

First correct answer wins :)

  1. I realize I can't play now, but the first word that came to mind was "Oompaloompa", but of course, that's only 2 repeated letters :)...

  2. I LOVE the way you think! Lol.

    Still feel free to raise your hand if you know the answer. I'm sure no one would mind the help. As it is, you bring up a great point:

    The word we are looking for has three double letters IN A ROW. (ex: if balloon was spelled, baalloon, it would work. But if it was balloonss, it would not.) The double letters MUST be all consecutive:D

  7. And Mandy, I wrote you back and it says the email address you sent me your email on is undeliverable. Too bad... it was a very charming email. ;P

    The book should be on its way, though. Do you want Rachelle to personalize it to you? :)
