Consecutive Identical Letters

Authors

Abstract

Many common words contain a doubled letter, for example LEER, GRAMMAR and DAZZLE. To find dictionary examples for every letter of the alphabet is a difficult but not impossible task. Well-known words can be found for 22 of the letters; the list below (supplied by the editor) gives the most commonly-encountered word in the Kucera and Francis million-word corpus.
