A worker at an incense factory in Quang Phu Cau, on the outskirts of Hanoi, Vietnam, sets out bundles of incense sticks for drying, carefully fanning out each sheaf and standing it on its base. The sticks had previously been dipped in a striking rose-coloured incense solution. The sequence of consonants in ‘rose’, RS, can be made into more words than any other sequence in our Add Vowels game.

Introduction

Make words by adding vowels to each group of consonants below. You may add as many vowels as you like before, between or after the consonants, but you may not add any consonants or change the order of those you have been given. See if you can beat our target of common words.
