  • Since I speak with a cot-caught merger, all words ending in "-awn" are candidates: dawn, fawn, lawn, spawn, brawn, etc.

    Those who don't have the cot-caught merger will be limited to words like: swan, don, on, yon, etc.

    I don't know what a "cot-caught merger" is but I speak with it too.

    You keep trying that, don't you?  I love your wit and sense of humor. 

    P.S. You don't win.

    You two can't gang up on me like this.  It was covered in the last intervention, remember?

    There's no cure so we're settling for containment.

    You see, this is why you'll never have me; you try too hard.   Throwing yourself at me with overkill is NOT the way to impress me.

    Scone. Some crossword compilers stretch a point and pun this with scorn.
