*proudly*
Tatah! 
*Discussion*
I took my dictionary thinking "J" would not be so hard to look through. And right there, I found "jangle" - a word I haven't heard, used or learnt before...
*BTW*
Happy new year, everybody!

Beaten to it by a foreigner. And only because I was checking a word he used elsewhere. Well done HP. Never heard the song "Mr Bo Jangles, by Sammy Davis Jr?
Jangle means to Jingle, only a more jarring sound - like jailor's keys or chains on a ghost.

Hey, Mr. Tambourine Man,
play a song for me,
In the jingle jangle morning
I'll come following you.
Now, what does a "jingle jangle morning" mean then?

Here's my answer: NO!
I can only make up five new words!
1. Bangle
2. Jangle
3. Tangle
4. Dangle
5. Mangle
No sixth!!!
