A dry one for the day.

I want a very specific answer.

Happy quizzing, and have a nice life, folks!

Just three answers, and they are correct too! These are the 50 words that children’s fiction author Dr Seuss used to write an entire book! The book was called Green Eggs and Ham. He did it on a dare with his publisher, and later collected a certain amount of money for winning the bet!

  3. These fifty words (only) have been used to write two children's story books, "Green Eggs and Ham" and "The Cat in the Hat" by Theodor Seuss Geisel (Dr. Seuss).
