[net.puzzle] words containing letter sequences

msb@lsuc.UUCP (Mark Brader) (10/25/85)

A month or two ago, somebody posted a puzzle consisting of a list of
letter strings.  We had to find English words containing them, without
using computer assistance.  The example was TICU -> fisticuffs.
Solutions were promised to be posted in a couple of weeks, but if they
were, they never made it here.

Anybody seen the solutions?  If not, anybody know who posted the puzzle?
(I printed it off without its Usenet header, and there was no signature.)

Sorry that I neglected to post the answers to the letters in sequence
puzzle.  We lost our connection to the net for over a month back in
September and I simply forgot to re-post when we came back on-line.
My apologies in the delay.  The answers are in rot13.
