The ultimate word-game clone forum..let there be and end to it.

Words must contain a number of letters which equals the square root of any prime number.I'll kick off with "a" and "I" (yes,folks...1 is indeed a prime)

Hey bunyip 1 is an unique no.
We usually consider it as unique

Only so the rest of the maths is easier for us..1 is still a prime.

@bunyip Yep. A square root of a prime. Perfect! Not as if primes have only 1 and themselves as factors (and 1 is neither prime nor composite). And let's say that 1 is included. Not as if there are only 2 words using one letter, right? Clearly.

(I was being sarcastic this whole post lol)

Wait, I think I've got it: negative one is a square root of a "prime number" (one), so the following is a valid answer: (The word "A" has been edited out here; I subtracted a letter (-1))
