Forum:Change the word

Forums: Index → Hogan's Deep-Fried Diner → Change the word | Post

What's a forum without forum games, huh?! This is a really simple one that can go on for a very long time.

I'll start by picking a word. Your goal is to change that word into a different word. Names don't count, the word must be real, not an abbreviation or acronym, and wiki appropriate. To play, simply change one letter in the word - you can add a letter, take out a letter or change one of the letters, but you can only make one change at a time, and you can't change the word back to what it was previously.

For example, I write 'Pie', you write 'Pit'. Then someone else writes 'Spit'. After awhile if no one has come up with a response, I'll start a new word. If you manage to come up with a word that stumps everyone, I'll give you the chance to pick a new word to play with.

Here we go: the first word is yell. Have fun -- LostInRiverview ^{talk · blog} 06:35, February 13, 2011 (UTC)

This is actually sort of dull. lol. Maybe it would be cool to have an "end word" - some word which you're trying to reach. Thoughts? -- LostInRiverview ^{talk · blog} 06:48, February 13, 2011 (UTC)

You can only make one change at a time (you took out a letter and changed the first letter) -- LostInRiverview ^{talk · blog} 06:59, February 13, 2011 (UTC)

Stall. Please add an end word, otherwise this is pointless and can continue until the end of the world. |_Andronikos Leventis ^Talk 13:20, February 15, 2011 (UTC)

Alright, the end word is lobby :D -- LostInRiverview ^{talk · blog} 15:25, February 15, 2011 (UTC)

And I will change the word to Stalk - LostInRiverview ^{talk · blog} 15:42, February 15, 2011 (UTC)

And here's a hint; since I see we're stuck in a rut, try and make the word longer, not shorter... ultimately you need to get a second syllable onto the word. Good luck -- LostInRiverview ^{talk · blog} 15:45, February 15, 2011 (UTC)

I'd say this round is over. Random Ranaun, you get to start the next round! Please pick a start word and an end-word. -- LostInRiverview ^{talk · blog} 19:21, February 22, 2011 (UTC)

Since Random Ranaun won't respond, I'll pick the new words.

The start word is ice and the end word will be water. Also, an adjustment to the rules - as your move, you may shuffle all the letters to create a new word. For example, if the word is free, instead of being forced to add a letter (freed), or remove a letter (fee), you may rearrange the letters to form a new word - in this case, reef. Note that when you do this, you can't also add or remove letters. It's one action per person, that's it!

Anyways, Ice. -- LostInRiverview ^{talk · blog} 07:23, March 8, 2011 (UTC)

Rice'. And tip to next person, we now have R and E, we don't need I and C and need to get T, A and W. --BobNewbie ^{talk • blog} 08:05, March 8, 2011 (UTC)
