A different word game
raisindot
I didn't invent this, but I have posted this as a topic on a couple other forums. The best version lasted four years and 2,000+ posts.
Anyway, it works like this: I post a sentence with a word in
bold
. The next person posts a new sentence where can either 1) change one letter to the word and, if you wish, rearrange the letters to make a new one; 2) add one more letter and arrange the existing letters to make a new word; or 3) subtract one letter from the word (WITHOUT adding another letter) and rearrange the existing letters to make a new one. We try to stay away with proper nouns and names of people, states, etc. just so it doesn't get too easy. It's pretty challenging, especially when you qs and zs in there. And you don't want to create a word that's nearly impossible to change because that makes you need to reboot. But it's fun vocab test. And we gots tons of smart people around here. So, I'll post the first few so you can see how it works.
I really like to smoke

Because it's best to try to stick to the rules rather than be forced into
gaming
the system.

Because the secret to continuity in this game is in
aiming
commonly used letters that allow easy construction of the next word.

Although I'm not sure this latest round of moves isn't
mining
further problems....

True, I don't see many people
lining
up to play.

Looking forward to lighting up a smoke after painting my
dining
room this weekend.

If the Pats win the Super Bowl this weekend I plan on getting pretty
ginned
up
raisindot
If you're a Pats fan, that must have been one of the greatest
endings
in sports history.

Congrats to the Patriots for
bending
over the Seahawks and
sending
them home!

I don't know about you, but that that finish got my
engines
firing.

Ever wonder how many
genies
could fit in one bottle?

If it were Barbara Eden's, I'd settle for a
single
one.

Hot enough to
singe
me!

I'm not even going to
begin
to think about that...won't get anything done all day...

Trying hard to get the word

My favorite thing to do is take a lot of
naps

Skipping Shadow's wayyyyy off word, but
owning
up to the complexity of the game.

Sorry... I was distracted by an

We've got so much snow up here in Boston (45" on the ground, plus two more storms expected by the end of the weekend) that if it melts I may be
rowing
home.

Can't wait for spring because I'll be in the garden hoeing. Got to get the seed order going.
raisindot
I'm trying to
ignore
the fact that it's -5 out now and another foot of snow is expected on Monday.
raisindot
More snow expected up here this weekend...another climatic kick in the
groin.
