1) R
2) A
3) N
4) K
5) I
6) G

N appears twice but gets only one entry.

[Gilly Goodness]

G. GG says G!!! 🤑

[kkleinschmidt]

Of course the correct answer is K

[Enlighten]

All of this ranking is pretty rank.

I say we should use the Scrabble rankings

K = 5 points
G = 2 points
R = 1 point
A = 1 point
N = 1 point
I = 1 point

[Ash Armstrong]

A for me. Way out in front and still accumulating points...

[Yorkshire Square]

K for me. Soft but strong, and angular, and sounds delightful.
Then A, I and R.
Then N. Nice angles, but slightly unpleasant sound.
Not at all interested in G. Oddly shaped, and sounds terrible.

I was in the stage musical of My Favorite Year, playing the part of King Kaiser (a thinly disguised Sid Ceasar).

I got to blurt out that "'K'-words are funny. Cucamonga.", or something like that. The script may have borrowed from Neil Simon, probably partly as a tribute.



Careful, Calvin, he might smock you.

"Fifty-seven years in this business, you learn a few things. You know what words are funny and which words are not funny. Alka-Seltzer is funny. You say 'Alka-Seltzer', you get a laugh... Words with 'k' in them are funny. Casey Stengel, that's a funny name. Robert Taylor is not funny. Cupcake is funny. Tomato is not funny. Cookie is funny. Cucumber is funny. Car keys. Cleveland... Cleveland is funny. Maryland is not funny. Then, there's chicken. Chicken is funny. Pickle is funny."
— Willy Clark, The Sunshine Boys, Neil Simon
