Word Play game...

Rating:★★★★★
Category:Other
I'm putting this here... so my dad won't have to "look around" it. (See, instead of going to the front page he had bookmarked & getting all confused in finding my most recent blog... I helped him bookmark just my blog... So things that are just for fun & probably would not interest him will go in this area from now on!!) :)

ANYWAY... my friend Tara started a Word Play game on her site. I asked if she mind if I started one here too... If you want you can play both... (Click her name for her game... will open in new tab / window.) ...

Here's the rules... I'll start by giving you a one word... the next person is to change that into a new word by changing ONLY ONE letter!... Do NOT add or take away any letters... just change ONE! (ie: crush... brush... brash... etc)

It must be of the English language... can not be a proper name. Keep it clean.
If we get stuck, I'll declare a winner & post a new word.

I'd prefer that you do only one at a time... wait for the another person to change your word before you post again.

& If it helps, your comment can consist only of that word. (Again click on Tara's name above, if you need an example of how it's played!)

When we get stuck, I'll try to find a longer word! :)
Let's get things started... with an easy word...

TRAIN

  1. Sorry having difficulty reading that. The purple on the black is too close. Maybe I am a bit color blind.

  12. "Broit" to "brain" is more than one letter change (and we only have five letters to work with,) so it has to go back to broit.

    If we try "bruit", the sound of blood rushing past an obstruction in a blood vessel, and then Kelly's entry of fruit still follows the rule of changing only one letter.

    So "Fruit" it is!

    Did I just appoint myself quizmaster in Lady Harley's absence? Oopsie! Now someone else has to take over, I have to go to my mom's house to say goodbye to my brother.

  13. Still haven't left....grrrrr....(no, that wasn't my submission....hmmm, maybe I think about "fruit".)

    ReplyDelete
  14. fruit is a tough one...i will think about it for a minute or so!

    ReplyDelete
  15. Yeah... I did fruit on the assumption that adding the "s" in bruits wouldn't follow the rules. So I just deleted the "s" and moved on. LOL

    ReplyDelete
  16. You do good Katha... Also, brain had already been used anyway... (Did I forget to mention... NO REPEATS, either...)

    Good job Mama for coming up with Bruit... & Kelly for Fruit... Let's see... I think Kelly (aquacatt) may have stumped us all! LOL :) I'm trying to find something!! :)

  17. WINNER of Round 1... Aquacatt....


    I looked everywhere I could... & I even found a site with 5 letter words (that's all that's on the page) & I could not change FRUIT at all...

    So, Kelly...

    I'll post a new word in a few minutes!! :)

    Shall I keep it going on in this blog (review)??? or start a new one??

  20. Hey all... I think I will start a new post... so it will help bring some others into the mix... I think I'm going to do a blog... (I'll just tell my dad to ignore it!!) LOL :)

    I'm still trying to think of a good word. We'll see.

    I'll title the blog Word Play - Round 2.
