For those who need to settle a bar bet, win at Scrabble, or just amaze
and amuse your friends, I offer this resource:

Craig Conley's Strange & Unusual Dictionaries
http://www.blueray.com/dictionary/

Mr. Conley has compiled three dictionaries:

* All-consonant words (e.g. "Brrr" or "Cwm")
* All-vowel words (e.g. "Aieee!" or "Yiiii!")
* The White Queen's Dictionary of One-Letter Words

Unfortunately the latter seems to have some sort of permission
problem. But the other two work well. Also, the site has links to other
resources.

I also recommend Mrs. Byrne's Dictionary, but AFAIK this is only
available in (out-of-print) hardcopy. Of course, there are several good on-
line dictionaries, useful for finding the definitions of words like "nucule".

Who you callin' "nucular"? A nucule is a little nut!
