Only speak in words that begin with H

E is the most frequently used letter in English, so avoiding it eliminates far more vocabulary than limiting speech to H-starting words
Speaking only H-start words is restrictive but allows some coherent communication with effort and creativity

Not be able to say any words that have the letter E in them

Starting every word with H leaves an extremely small vocabulary — constructing meaningful sentences becomes nearly impossible
Avoiding E is challenging but workable with a thesaurus, and a complete novel was written without the letter E as proof of concept
Avoiding E preserves the full range of word-ending options and most of the alphabet, leaving far more expressible ideas intact
