This is a bit of a conundrum. Words starting with "els" are rare and I couldn't find any that allowed a secondary word consisting of five or six letters. Anything starting with "ls" is an acronym, as far as I could discover, and it seems to me those have been avoided in this word challenge.



So... Allow an acronym? Or substitute travel for travels? Or there is a word solution that evades me and someone else can find? Which is entirely possible.

to be continued...

Edit: i did find that there is a neighbourhood called Elsen in a German town by the name of Paderborn. Somewhat obscure but I'll give that a go until you can rule on this, Anna.

Since it was my fault that I provided the difficult situation, I shall make a ruling. I am happy to accept place names but ONLY when no other option exists. Acronyms are not actually words so not acceptable unless they appear as an accepted word in the OED. i.e. SCUBA. Agreed?

I don't want to look, Larry. I really don't.
