  1. What could come between SKY and SKYWAY? SKYSCAPE? SKYFALL? SKYMALL? I sat here, looking out the window, searching the horizon . . . and never thought of SKYLINE.

    Note that there are 7 words starting with SKYLI. I never would have guessed SKYLIKE, which would need a blank in a Scrabble game.

    The 31 words surrounding joon's word range from LISTENED to LITER. There are 29 words starting with the same 4 letters as joon's word. 4 words starting with the same 5.

  3. It's words like "skyphoi" that keep me coming back. Not that I actually learn them, but it's fun to look them up.
