This is harder than I first thought it would be. I only got four the first time through.
I\'m assuming that there is only one letter on each side, not two or more. Like Re ... er.

Are you sure that all of these are spelled right? I got 10 (3, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15) of them without having to resort to extraordinary measures.
For the other 5, I put all the possibilities into the computer. On 2 of them (1, 5), the spell checker knew one of the letter combinations, and so I assume that these are the answers, although neither of them were words that I have ever heard of before.
I got two more (4, 6) by checking in a dictionary, but they weren\'t even in spell check. One is a really obscure word that I can\'t imagine many people would know. The other is a choice between two foreign language words that can be used in English, so I don\'t know which would be the correct answer.
That just leaves one that I can\'t figure, _ealga_. Spell check doesn\'t recognize any of the possibilities, and I sure don\'t. The only answer I can come up with that sounds reasonable is sealgas. But it seems like it should be hyphenated, and either way I don\'t think I want to know what it is.

Thats awesome!
I know all these words yet wasn\'t able to pull them out with out the first and last letter.
I really tried not to just go through the alphabet.
Its funny, one of the ones I got was #9, but I had the word treat.
