**sits back in the corner, watching people scratch their heads over these two, smiling all the while**

[Dr. Sticks]

There is one word in the English language (as far as I know)

[Segovia]

You are just aching to answer it aren't you Lewis?

[Hyperion]

You are just aching to answer it aren't you Lewis?

I know it as well, said it on the IRC six hours ago. Didn't say what it was, but I did say it.

[Segovia]

Well then answer it. Nobody's stoping you.

[osprey]

I vaguely recall this being "therein", but there are 11 words in that one...

[Hyperion]

Well then answer it. Nobody's stoping you.

There is a seven letter word in the english language that contains ten words without rearranging any of the letters. What is the word?

Therein: the, there, he, her, here, herein, ere, re, rein, in. As osprey just noted, there are eleven words in therein, which could disqualify it.

There is also the more riddlish answer that each letter in the word is counted as a word, because each letter is in fact a word by itself.

There is one word in the English language (as far as I know) which contains three consecutive sets of double letters. What is it?

Bookkeeper, bookkeeping. (Also "Sweettooth" if you consider that as one word)

[Segovia]

Actually that is the word. The riddle on that website I got it from must of made a typo or miss counted. Any way here is the next riddle.

What does an island have in common with the letter "T"?

[Dr. Sticks]

if you don't count the word "re" (which is only a word in solfege AFAIK) then it's ten.

they both exist?

[osprey]

T-shaped island?

[Segovia]

Nice try but not the answer.

There is one word in the English language (as far as I know) which contains three consecutive sets of double letters. What is it?

Bookkeeper, bookkeeping. (Also "Sweettooth" if you consider that as one word)

Hah, I was thinking of the former but somehow missed the latter. I wouldn't allow "sweettooth" myself. Well done

Wild guess on the current one: neither are inland.

[Segovia]

Sorry nick.
