Today, I’m looking for words which have 6 or more letters and which can be made from the word EVENTUALLY. You can make as many guesses as you like but to score points you have to name the 8 (in my opinion) more common words which I have thought of – as indicated below. One point per correct word. No proper nouns or words that are always hyphenated; apart from that, provided your word can be found in an Online English Dictionary it will count. No use of reference material or the internet of course to ensure fair play. Good luck.
