  1. Shouldn’t the example word be “__DU_TE_”

    EDITORIAL NOTE: You’re right, Jack; there was a missing letter in the sample. All fixed!

  5. I actually got this brain game (I don’t get very many). I pride myself on knowing the alphabet backwards (comes from staring at the alphabet on the wall during elementary school), so this one was pretty easy.

  6. You know which video game character would be great at this game? _ie__if_l Joe.

    I’m very, very, unnecessarily proud of myself for that one.

  8. RE: Mike – If you’re answer is Viewtiful Joe, since when do V and W come before T and U in the alphabet? I believe the point of this exercise is to use the consecutive letters in consecutive order — meaning T, U, V, W – in that order. Sorry, but Viewtiful Joe just doesn’t work here!
