Goodies pulled from a list I've compiled of most-every word having these letters in common — It's going take to take a long, long time to actually get through (and I may want to extend it later to inculde other vowels, eep), but this is the first of many aesthetically letter-focused lists I'd still like to make in the future!
I love trying to find common threads in the words I'm habitually drawn to, which seem to be letters and sounds just as often as (and maybe more often than–!) their definitions.

Suggestions more than welcome! Although, ha, I realize this list is possibly too long for any sane person to read through.

It would be really glorious(ly convenient) to have some sort of program to read through everything I've wordied and just tell me what my history's been with everything you mention, 'be..

But yes. I love them, too — Reining them in by hand is time-consuming and kind of overwhelming (in scope and interestingness and usurious number of possibilities..), but I suspect it's really the most thorough way for me to try to answer the bibliophagists' (or this bibliophagist's) question-of-all-questions: "Why do I love what I love, and what do I love that I don't know I do yet?"

And thanks, Prolagus; I still have a few thousand words yet to look at..!

Me too, whichbe. Such a rich weft of associations.

What about culmen?

I love stuff like this, letter combos, and thinking about the sequence of phonemes and their effect...

After pondering it for a bit, I decided c, m, and e were likely to blame for my suddenly finding "c'mere" to be very nice-looking (pronunciation aside), and I happened to be investigating this when I decided to finally start adding these lists to Wordie. There's a whole mess of other noted letters and sounds—some of which are already overlapping with (or closely related to) words I have on this list. And I'll probably end up pruning a few others, when I go back to edit for quality (ideally, I want words whose look/sounds I love, not just words that qualify). Bah—I'll figure it out eventually!

Why these letters in particular?
