How many words can you think of that contain the listed consonants, in order, and include no other consonants?
Karen Richards poses this “Constant Consonants” question a couple Mondays each month in her puzzle blog http://puzzlebits.wordpress.com/. Please visit her blog for full rules and other great puzzles.
I first try to solve Karen's puzzles—not at all easy! Then I make Word Sudoku puzzles out of some of the (hopefully correct) answers I found. Here are two Qudoku puzzle sets supplying letters to spell out eight of the longest answers and eight of the shortest answers I found for the “Constant Consonants” MTR, the puzzle Karen posted Monday, 5/25/2009. Notice that one of the words in the anagram for each puzzle also fits the definition of an MTR Constant Consonants word!
YO, I MATURE!
