"To mark this momentous event, this week we'll feature words that have three consecutive letters in order, something that doesn't happen very often either (there are hundreds of everyday words, but we are talking here about unusual and interesting words)."
Do I misunderstand?( it needs a side step to: Site Map-Todays Word for the concept of this weeks words.)
defenestrate; the three consecutive letters, are they str? If so, should they not be rst to stay within the concept of consecutiveness? Alphabetically?
