Here are my criteria for the perfect English word:

  1. Must be between 4 and 7 letters long.
  2. Must be common words.
  3. Must not have a negative meaning.
  4. Cannot contain any silent letters, except where they modify the sound of nearby letters.
  5. Cannot be words borrowed directly from another language.

Some candidates:

  • Peace
  • Forever
  • Music
  • Love
  • Time

Got any others?
