Good job, KB. Believe "manufacture" is the only root word in the English

language containing the letters 'ufa' in that exact sequence. -gb 🙂

"Failure" has the three letters but out of sequence.

Could be, I can't think of any other word with this letter sequence. But then again, English isn't my mother tongue.

Just thinking that with UFA I probably should have specified 'commonly

used' words. Can you think of any other than... manufacture?

No. Tufa is a soft sedimentary rock well known to geologists, but probably not a word you'd be apt to hear in idle conversation.
