THE ANSWER: Each set can be made into five different words by adding the five vowels (A, E, I, O and U) between the letters. 

1. BAG, BEG, BIG, BOG, BUG
2. PAT, PET, PIT, POT, PUT
3. TAN, TEN, TIN, TON, TUN

Can you think of any others? Feel free to add them in the comments!

  1. B-T, since “bot” has become a word
    B-D, if you accept slang “bod”
    G-T, w/2 slang meanings for “git”
    M-D, if “med” is okay for medicine
    good morning to me

  2. All are words with all vowels: bag/pat/tan, beg/pet/ten, big/pit/tin, bog/pot/ton, bug/put/tun (if you accept tun…)

  3. I guessed correctly! But um… What’s a ‘tun’? *searches dictionary.com*

  4. Wikipedia has a number of entries for “tun”, the most popular being an antiquated unit of measurement. Who knew?

  5. Ooh! I though of another:

    F-N

    And, yes, fon and fen are both words!
