I always wanted to write a book that included characters with names like G.A. Tchai, Jay Caye, and Ella Minnow. One day.

Anyway, today’s Brain Game also involves the letters L. M, N, and O. There are five letters missing in the following nine-letter word; each blank represents a letter. Can you identify the word? Good luck!

_ L _ M _ N _ O _

Here is the SOLUTION.

  4. G H I.

    Also, Ella Minnow Pea is one of my favourite books. A must read for anyone interested in the study of the english language.

  5. Mike D’s right… “G.A. Tchai” is meant to be “G-H-I” when you sound it out.

    And while I haven’t seen the Ella Minnow Pea book, I’m glad someone did something worthwhile with a similar name. Cool!
