I'm sure all you quizzerers (sic ?) will get this or maybe I have asked before but which English word of eleven letters begins with seven consonants.

I thought that the most consonants you'll get in a row is 6, as in words like Watchstrap.

However, not counting Ys...

All I can think of is STRYCHNINE... which is only 10 words and has 7 consonants at the beginning. Do I get a bonus?


If not, I'll just go for STRYCHNINES

D'oh can't even count. You are most correct.

Cheers Harry. There was also RHYTHMS for even fewer letters.

Right. Jesus has the reputation of being quite a nice chap who wouldn't hurt a fly. But in one of the Gospels, he decideth to lay down the smackdown on one of God's creations.

But which creation?
