Whats the longest word you can make using only the musical letters A-G ?
This has come up on the ABRSM's Facebook site, and they suggested CABBAGE. In a couple of minutes I have come up with DEBAGGED, but there must be something longer.....

I cheated, and used www.quinapalus.com/cgi-bin/match

Hmm , a bit suspicious Chris. DEFACED is OK but only 7 letters, DEBAGGED is 8.

You can of course play all these as melodies.

There's a nice Old English song called Phoebe in her Petticoat, which is in the School Recorder Book. I always thought she must have been a bit of a baggage.

Are we allowed to use S and H?

Ma Non Troppo- exactly what I came in to suggest! But within the rules, so S can't follow another S, obviously.

The first word I came up with is BAGGAGE.

English is the language of the English-speaking world, and as a natural English speaker, anything I say (and that another English speaker can understand) is, by definition, valid English.

 

My child doesn't like his greens. When we ate at his grandmother's, he would not eat his meal until it had been decabbaged (10).
