You're looking at your Scrabble tiles and see that they spell out "DECEMBER" and you wonder what words you can make from these available tiles. I found 25 words that I consider common words using these available letters. Two of the three letter words are typical crossword answers.
What can you find? Please limit answers to one or two in the first 24 hours.
3 Letters: (5)
bed
red
bee
ere
deb
4 Letters: (8)
berm
beer
reed
deer
cede
mere
bred
deem
5 Letters: (7)
breed
creed
embed
creme
emcee
ember
emeer
6 Letters: (5)
redeem
recede
decree
emceed
bermed

Prepared for the Noodle, but if "emcee" is OK, how about "cee" and "dee"?  Great little puzzle, Cue - simple yet irritating!

To waste one second of one's life is a betrayal of one's self.
I wonder what's on television...?

I think it's the simple ones that are the most irritating, Rog Sorry, but I didn't consider "cee" or "dee" appropriate. The last two 3 letter answers are both common in crossword puzzles. Belle got "ere". The other one is actually an anagram of one of the 3 letter words already posted. Joan, two good solves  Belle, you get "ere" but not "set"

As I've grown older, I've found that my memory is not as good as I used to think it was.

I like the " You've been beered dude!" ...unfortunately, no. Good call, Joan. Yes, I'm a crossworder...is that a word?
