some INGS that aren't

Mar 06, 2009 10:08

There are 2200 sevens that contain ING. 1550ish of them are -ING words. Here are a dozen of the fun ones that don't have that ending (or at least have one anagram that doesn't end as -ING):

AAGILNN
ACGHINT
AGIMNPR
BGHINOR
BGILNOT
CDGIINO
CDGINNO
EEGGILN
EFGINNP
EGINPSY
GGIMNSU
GILNNOO

Does batwing count?

Because it's 'ing'...

scrabblek8 March 6 2009, 15:43:29 UTC

oh, that's true. maybe i should add another one.

BATWING ends in ING even if not in the traditional sense
words like NOTHING would need tobe included if you start throwing in BATWING..I mean both are ING words that aren't verbs...

scrabblek8 March 6 2009, 17:01:46 UTC

there are over 300 ing words that are not verbs, or are both nouns and verbs...

Q. "Do you like BATWING?"

A. "I don't know; I've never BATWED."

Although if you want to add some words how about
AGIJNSW
AAAGINZ
AAGINRZ
AEGINTZ
AGIINNZ
AGIINRZ
AGINNOZ
AGINORZ
CEGINOZ

Got to love those Z words all 10 of these have ING in them and are stand alone anagrams and do NOT end in ING

AGIJNSW

I can't figure that one out. What is it?

etheridge2 March 6 2009, 17:59:55 UTC

GWINJAS- they are large edible ninjas

That's seriously a word? That arrangement of letters doesn't even look like a word. On the other hand, if someone was to drop it on the board I couldn't possibly challenge it because who'd have the stones to play something that absurd if they didn't know it was a word?
