On a set of coasters we have, there's a picture of a teacup. On the rim of the teacup the word "TEA" appears a number of times separated by bullet characters (•). It occurred to me that if the bullet were removed and the words run together, you could start at any letter and still end up with a meaningful three-letter word. So start at the "T" and read "TEA". Start at the "E" and read "EAT", or start at the "A" and read "ATE".
That got me thinking that maybe there are other words that could be used rather that "TEA". And that's just English. What about Italian or Greek or ... um ... Telugu. For English, we use the unixdict (now) located at http://wiki.puzzlers.org/pub/wordlists/unixdict.txt . (This maintains continuity with other RC tasks that also use it.)
