Without using any letter twice, can you make a plant’s name from these letters?
A O R T W
Answer = ??
It doesn’t say that you’ve got to use all 5 letters, so the answer could be WORT
I’ve also considered that the W could be an upside down M
They haven’t as yet published the answer to the previous puzzle (how many legs has a giraffe)

Many thanks to our wonderful posters and apologies to the mods for all the postings I've made which then turned out that I've been pipped at the post.0 -
I asked my quiz team - they reckon it's a wort - any of various plants or herbs. The word is usually used in combination to refer to specific plants, e.g. St. John’s wort; however, it may be used on its own as a generic term.

I was just about to say that I think it's a trick question. It says without using a letter twice, but not more than twice.0
