Answer 1

I'm guessing you mean a consonant digraph, right?

So it couldn't be 'imposter', because of the 'i'?

How about 'frosters'? Like people who ice cakes?

Answer 2

Phosters.. australian for beer.
j/k I dont believe sn is a digraph.. and it doesnt necessarily have to be a digraph then osters, there may be stuff in between.. sorry i dont know

Answer 3

Hmmm... that was a tricky one, but here it is:

SNOLLYGOSTERS

a snollygoster is
"One, especially a politician, who is guided by personal advantage rather than by consistent, respectable principles."

As another answer noted, at least ORDINARILY "digraph" refers to a two-letter spelling of a SINGLE sound (such as "ph", "th", "sh"). I started out looking and I don't believe there are ANY words that will work on that definition, unless you allow proper names (which makes anything possible... and I don't think that's the point of the question!)

But sometimes the word is used more loosely, as in the wordnet definition:
"two successive letters (especially two letters used to represent a single sound: 'sh' in 'shoe')"

Not my preference to use it for ANY combination... but it seems to be the only way to get an answer (and you've got to admit "SNOLLYGOSTERS" is a fun one!)
