chesilbeach Posted January 24, 2010 Posted January 24, 2010 Just trying to think of new word game, and came up with this one to try ... Each guess has to be the previous word with one letter added or taken away, so for example, if I started with pant the next guess could be paint followed by pint followed by pin followed by pine. No changing the letter order, or swapping out letters, it must be the previous word, with one letter added or taken away. I'll start with ... Start Quote
Nollaig Posted January 24, 2010 Posted January 24, 2010 Star! (I'm interested to see how far this can go without circles or dead ends!) Quote
Vladd Posted January 24, 2010 Posted January 24, 2010 thats changing a letter not adding or remoing one Quote
chesilbeach Posted January 24, 2010 Author Posted January 24, 2010 Sorry Nollaig, but Vladd is right. You can't change a letter, you must add or remove a letter to the previous word. So, I'm going to go back to CaliLily's tart and my next word is ... Art Quote
Nollaig Posted January 24, 2010 Posted January 24, 2010 Whoops, sorry! I blame it on being sick (And that other game, the letter changing one ) Quote
bethany725 Posted January 24, 2010 Posted January 24, 2010 Hey, I think you got it now, Noll! Cards Quote
chesilbeach Posted January 24, 2010 Author Posted January 24, 2010 Yup, Nollaig's got it now, but unfortunately sirinrob hasn't. Sorry, but you can't change a letter, you must add or remove a letter to the previous word. So going back to Beth's word "Cards", I'm going for ... Cads Quote
chesilbeach Posted January 24, 2010 Author Posted January 24, 2010 (do abbreviations count?) I don't see why not - it's a word we use in everyday language, so it seems perfectly valid to me. Lads Quote
sirinrob Posted January 24, 2010 Posted January 24, 2010 (edited) ok - i slipped up try lad at least the ar- combo is gone Edited January 24, 2010 by sirinrob Quote
Nollaig Posted January 24, 2010 Posted January 24, 2010 Fads is still changing the 'L' to an 'F', rather than adding or removing a letter... I think the reason we're getting confused is because there's a really long running thread where you DO change one letter. I have to think carefully about it Anyway, going back to Beth's Lads, I say Lad. Quote
