STICKELERS

- BY TERRY STICKELS

We’ve offered several puzzles with words that have consecutiv­e letters of the alphabet in their makeup. Calmness, coughing, thirsty, studious, etc., have three consecutiv­e letters. One combinatio­n of letters that is difficult to find in a word is “abc.” The dictionary lists “abcoulomb” as one word. There are two other fairly normal words that we’ve found at www.dictionary.com and other large dictionari­es. Can you find at least one of them?
