    On your turn you can either:
    1) Add a letter in any position to the current word.
    2) Take away a letter from any position in the current word.
    3) Rearrange the letters in the current word to form a new word.

    Rules:
    1) Actual English words only. No slang terms or proper nouns.
    2) Posting limit: must wait for at least 5 replies to your post before posting again or 24 hours (this is to allow different people to participate)
    3) If two or more people post at the same time, only the first entry will count as the new word.
    4) Try to avoid returning to the same words repeatedly unless absolutely necessary.

    First word: pen

    Let's see if we can eventually get it to spinning.

    Opens hmm. I don't know how we are getting to spinning from there.

    Re-arranges the letters pointlessly to reminisce of Warcraft days.

    Peons

    EDIT: Wait LOL. Why is opens there? Two words going at once?

    Pins

    Add S to spins

    I'm not sure how Aussie English works dunno.gif

    But we use English English (or real English) or American English (slightly dumbed down English) here.

    The word you should have went from is opens.
    When I put pins that was a mistake cause according to the rules you have a choice to add a letter subtract a letter or rearrange the letters and it seems that you can only do one of those on your turn. pens to pins was neither of those cause I replaced a letter which is not allowed so I put the new word as opens. I guess I should have went into more detail in my post of what I did.
    Maybe we should start over?

    illegal, you cannot replace a letter. can only add, remove, rearrange.

    from Dictionary.com "Spiner: a person with the profession of removing spines from invertebrates."

    Sorry, it doesn't exist.

    damn, I thought I might be able to get away with it for a second. Anyone like my fake definition? pretty good for a 13 year old.

  20. Mats
    Date: Sat, Oct 27 2007 13:44:44

    Remember, dictionaries say what kind of word it is (adjective, noun etc), this is how you got found out. Next time:

    Spiner noun - A person with the profession of removing spines from invertebrates.

    And Tialys will never be any the wiser ssst.gif

    actually I knew that is what dictionary definitions look like, but I think that he just knew it wasn't a word

    The goal word was "spinning", not "spinner"

    edit: Sorry for solving the whole thing but the thread was dead so i posted my answer :x

    Good job. I think this is a better way to play the game. People just post their solution and whoever has shortest one wins. Anyway, your turn to choose a beginning and ending word.
