Quote: EdCollinsMany members here are obviously math-oriented, but here's something of a Word Challenge for those that enjoy word puzzles.
Find three different 11-letter words that when each are placed in a row, eleven different 3-letter words are formed in each of the eleven columns.
All 14 words must be official "Scrabble" words.
(For example, the 3-letter words PAD, ODE, and TON when each are placed in a row
PAD

form the words POT, ADO, and DEN in the three corresponding columns. Your task is to find three different 11-letter words that form eleven different 3-letter words in the columns.)

I could not access an official list of three-letter scrabble word at your link, but I found another source of 1122 3-letter scrabble words elsewhere. I hope that my solutions don't accidentally use a wrong word if my list differs from the official list.
I was able to quickly find dozens of triplets of 11-letter words where the first 8 letters are a solution. It took a few minutes to find one set where the first nine letters work. Finding one solution where the first ten letters work took five minutes.

I did a quick estimate that checking all of the 11-letter words in my list in every order will take about two years using only one processor. This estimate may be way off. I don't know how far into the exhaustive process I will need to go to find my first 11-letter solution. I expect that there are a very large number of solutions to be found.

Okay, I added a simple hash table to quickly check the 3-letter words. Now, I think I can find all possible solutions for 11 letters within my word list in less than four days. I am finding hundreds of solutions per hour. Therefore, I think I will eventually find tens of thousands of solutions. Even if my list of words happens to include words that are not in the official scrabble dictionary, many of the solutions will be valid. I am finding a very large number of sets of solutions with a common word or words such as:Quote: MentalQuote: EdCollinsMany members here are obviously math-oriented, but here's something of a Word Challenge for those that enjoy word puzzles.

Although I don't know how Isis (presumably you mean ISIS) really fits into that; it's not really a "rebel state"

Eh. Kinda. I said Lord Farquaad instead of Prince Charming. Not up on my Shrek stuff, only saw it once when our daughter was young. Interesting fact: the writers of Shrek were undergrads at Notre Dame. Most of the dorms are in one area of the campus, but there is one dorm, Carroll Hall, that is located across St Mary’s Lake, which is where they roomed. It is known colloquially as “the far quad”. Hence, Lord Farquaad.

I knew the clues, couldn’t find the connection, had no patience and looked it up, felt stupid.

The five answers are pretty straightforward, but I have no idea what connects them. I’ve had half a day at it, so it’s not going to happen.
