Anyone for a 5 Letter Word Game? [Archive]

maliakei

10-28-2009, 10:36 PM

Game Rules:

1. All words must contain the same number of letters as specified in the title of this game thread.

2. Each word must change no more than one letter from the previous word.

3. Letters may also be scrambled, and okay to change 1 letter only.

4. Please, no repeats on words which have already been posted.

5. If we absolutely get stuck, then the next person can re-submit a new word to keep the game going.

I'll begin with the first word:

SUNNY

maliakei

FANNY to FAWNY

Fawny = light yellowish brown that is usually used in reference to a dog's coat colour.

maliakei

10-28-2009, 11:09 PM

Words ending in "Y" are tough!

FAWNY to FAWNS

MeBNude

10-28-2009, 11:15 PM

O.K., I am thinking... but maybe in the five letter game, we should allow two letter changes??? But I am still thinking here.

MeBNude

10-28-2009, 11:18 PM

Ohh... duh... lawns... but I still advocate for the "2 letter change" rule! :)

Hmmm, beaten to it.

How about to afford our manicured LAWNS we may need to take out LOANS

maliakei

10-28-2009, 11:20 PM

O.K., I am thinking... but maybe in the five letter game, we should allow two letter changes??? But I am still thinking here.

You think? We could take a vote on that, so how do you do that?

I suppose if we got stuck on a word, then someone starts with a new one to keep the game going?

In the meanwhile. . .

LOANS to SNAIL

maliakei

10-28-2009, 11:26 PM

oops!! I had 'SWANS', then noticed somebody put 'LOANS', so I changed it to 'SNAIL'.

'SWATHS' = 6 letters!

MeBNude

maliakei

10-28-2009, 11:37 PM

O.K., I meant "swath" but that is moot now... "Nails" Oh... I see why the original suggestion was four letters. This gets so much tougher. But, not to say we can't fudge the rules to get more flexibility! :D HOw about "snail?"

We might be in a negative feedback loop here... might want to reconsider rule revision!

Oh, I had 'snail'. *Remember, no repeats! Guess we could 'fudge the rules', that is, if we get stuck. I may need your help to change the rules, okay? For now, let's work up a challenge and see where it takes us!

SNAIL to LIONS
