Rearrange the letters in the word "geraniums" to find a clue to fill in the following series:
O________, C________, P________, Q________, G________

Ounce - Cup - Pint - Quart - Gallon
As Lorenzo pointed out, the series could have begun with T_____, T______ for teaspoon and tablespoon.

ReplyDeleteOui, oui. Merci.
ReplyDeleteI think the letters of the five central words of my previous comment can be ordered in such a way that they correctly fill the blanks.
