Roll your own word puzzle by simply rearranging these twenty consonants: BCDFGHJKLMNPQRSTVWXZ.

Now, solve your permutation as described below in twenty words or less: the fewer, the better.

Consider my own puzzle specimen: WGCSMNVZBTXQJFHLRKPD.

The best that I can do is a nine-word solution such as WAG, COSMIC, ENVY, ZEBU, TAX, QUEUE, JIFFY, HEALER, and KEYPAD.

Note my final partitioning: (WG CSM NV ZB TX Q JF HLR KPD)

The respective first appearances of W and G first appear in WaG in that order; W and G never appear again in the remaining words of my solution.

Note these equivalents: (WAG WAGE WIG WIGWAG WOG)

The respective first appearances of C, S, and M first appear in CoSMic in that order; and so on.

Note these equivalents: (CESIUM COSMIC COSMOS COSMOSES)

The respective first appearances of N and V first appear in eNVy in that order; and so on.
