The first thread has passed the 1000 posts and has been closed down.

Here is the first post of Elanor explaining the game.

These are the rules: there is an English dictionary word (Scrabble rules-- no names, etc.), and on each turn you can change it in one of the following ways, to another English dictionary word:

- insert one letter (far --> fear)

- remove one letter (fear --> ear)

- swap two letters (ear --> era)
Clarification:
The letters don't have to be next to each other (rout - tour).
You can also move a letter to the beginning or end of the word, 'swapping' the letter with an empty space. (brake --> baker).

- change one letter to another (era --> err)

Let's see how long we can keep it going!

Here's the first word:

nerve

And here is the last post of the previous thread:

smite -> site

***Rían*** · 11-09-2005, 11:13 AM

site --> cite

Telcontar_Dunedain · 11-09-2005, 02:10 PM

cite --> bite

***Rían*** · 11-09-2005, 02:30 PM

bite --> kite

littleadanel · 11-09-2005, 02:35 PM

kite --> lite

Count Comfect · 11-09-2005, 03:03 PM

lite -> lit

Telcontar_Dunedain · 11-09-2005, 03:09 PM

lit --> mit

sun-star · 11-09-2005, 03:16 PM

I don't think either lite or mit is spelt correctly there, guys

lit -> kit

Pytt · 11-09-2005, 03:21 PM

kit -> kid

Count Comfect · 11-09-2005, 03:23 PM

lite is an advertising neologism, but still a word. mit is only an acronym (MIT) for the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.

kid -> bid

sun-star · 11-09-2005, 03:27 PM

I assume he was thinking of mitt...

bid -> bide

Telcontar_Dunedain · 11-09-2005, 03:28 PM

No I meant that MIT.

bide --> bride

Pytt · 11-09-2005, 03:39 PM

bride -> rebid

Count Comfect · 11-09-2005, 03:39 PM

bride -> rebid involves more than one swap (e for r, r for b)

bride -> bridge

Telcontar_Dunedain · 11-09-2005, 03:44 PM

bridge --> ridge

Telcontar_Dunedain · 11-09-2005, 03:49 PM
