I DOUBLE, TRIPLE DARE YOU

The use of double letters in words is very common, and many words have two sets of double letters. However, in most of these words the two sets of double letters are not consecutive. (e.g. SUCCESS, FOOTBALL, EMBARRASS, ADDRESS, BUCCANEER)

1. How many words can you think of that have two consecutive sets of double letters?

2. Can you think of three words that have three sets of double letters? In two of the words, two double letter sets are consecutive? (Two of the words are proper nouns.)
