Word Play - Round 3 (& results of Round 2)

Yesterday's game was a success... We had some moments when I couldn't even keep up. Finally though we all got stumped on the word: CLIMB for a little bit... so I started to declare Mama (QW) Di the winner... & since I had already promised her a blue ribbon... & because... some how some way Mama & Katha got started again but it was actually on a word that had been used already... AND they were already on a roll... I said I'd let it go... but said Mama was still getting a ribbon!! (Whew... that's a mouth full!)

After that, we all got stuck on the word SHELF (by Katha)... Then I was closing things up & told Katha & Mama they were both winners & they'd both get blue ribbons! I had left a note saying we'd have a new round today & if anyone knew of a word to continue after SHELF that it can be re-opened & we'd call it round 2.2.

So... in recap... this is what I had declared... Round 2.0 ended with CLIMB... & then said the round was now 2.1... Which it ended with the word of SHELF... After Mama went to bed & Katha & I were both about to leave... Kelly (Aquacatt) came back & was not stumped & changed SHELF to SHEAF... SO, then I declared that, round 2.2... which after we all got stuck on the word TWITS... and some of us just couldn't keep their eyes open (mainly me!) I declared Katha a 2nd time winner...

Round 1.0 winner - Aquacatt (final word: FRUIT)
Round 2.0 winner - Mama Di (final word: CLIMB)
Round 2.1 winner - Katha (final word: SHELF)
Round 2.2 winner - Katha (final word: TWITS)



Ladies, your blue ribbons will be sent to you via a PM!! Feel free to post them in your own blog, if you wish!! & Start your own "collection"!



This blog starts a BRAND NEW ROUND... This will be 3.0 & the rules are the same... with a couple additions... so hopefully things won't get SO confusing...

Rules:
1. No profanity (didn't have a problem before... just making sure! LOL)

2. No repeats!! (use find, if any doubt... Ctrl + F)
3. Change only ONE letter.
4. Do NOT add any letters.
5. Do NOT take away any letters.
6. Must be English. (If any doubt, I'll check it out... oooh, sorry for the rhyme!)
7. Reply can be just your answer... no need to say anything else, if you don't want to! :)
8. Please wait for at least one person to change the word before you go again.
9. Round closes when I declare a winner (which we will have a winner each night we have a round!
(Depending on response) Or when I open the next round...  in a new blog.)
10. No graphics, please... don't want auto reply to be slow!
11.
Most of all... HAVE FUN!!!

Suggestion (not a rule)... It may help when you change the word to capitalize the one letter you're changing... to make it easy for us all to see.

P.S. For even more fun... Join in on Tara's game... she started it the other day & it is still going!!!

I'll be around... but just working on another blog... so if you need me... just send me a quick PM!!

Round 3 starts with a 6 letter word...

WINTER

  1. Ok... this round is not "on fire"... so, I'll keep it open through tomorrow... especially since I posted it so late. Let's see what you all can do with this word...


    dinner ---> Tinner (it's someone who works in a tin mine)

    ReplyDelete
  2. (after this round is complete... I'm moving the game to a "group"... it will make things easier for all of us!) :)

    Also, I will not be the one to end a round (if possible)... I can't go & give myself a blue ribbon, now can I?? LOL :)

    And I think I will only use 4 or 5 letter words from now on. This 6 letter word is tough! LOL! :)

    Ok... let's continue... the word is still....

    BANNER

    ReplyDelete

    However, lanner is... so that's the new word! :)
