How many words can be made out of the following letters CTNDOWUNO....

You MUST use the letter O in everyword and you can't use names or plurals, all words must be the Collins Concise Dictionary

[Brad100]

[Brad100]

And all of those are in the collins concise dictionary

[danij]

just looking in collins dictionary and it doesn't have
oud,oot,noo,udo


but it has udon

[danij]

nor nutwood

[danij]

sorry nor unwon
i hate when dictionairies have different entries

[danij]

last one -not conto

[Brad100]

now take out the ones that have used the same letter twice, the only letter you can use twice is O

[Brad100]

sorry just checked they need to be 4 letter words

[danij]

there are 2 ns .can't u use 2ns in a word?

[danij]

the asterisked word is c o o n

[Brad100]

yeah N can be used twice as their are 2 of them in the selection.....

So you recap, only 4 letter words and only N and O can be used twice in the same word

[JerryB]

"....they need to be 4 letter words" - exactly 4 letters, or at least 4 letters ?

danij, I haven't got a Collins with me, can you check if it has CODON ?

I believe it is a genetics term, which means

a triplet of adjacent nucleotides in the messenger RNA chain that codes for a specific amino acid in the synthesis of a protein molecule.

Also called coding triplet.

[Brad100]

They need to be at least 4 letters in each word

[Brad100]

also they don't just have to be English's word as Collins dictionary's are in spainish, french and german
