Fruit Salad [BB454]
6 April, 2014
If a cored GUAVA is a GUVA (losing its middle letter), or a cored LYCHEE is LYEE (losing its inner pair of letters), then what cored fruit can replace the X’s to make words? (No mixing needed. And note – the letter/s lost make up the fruit’s precise pith.)
PS – in case you’re wondering: no genuine Xs appear. (And what other nobbled nibblies, or similar twiddled sets, can be constructed? Feel free to set a fresh list.)
- CHAMEX
- XSALIS
- XNTY
- REXAGE
- FXT
- CAX
- REXBLE
- XL
