Chain letters

Remember the TV quiz game with ( I think) Lenny Bennet.
For those of you who don't know, or those of you who are too young to remember.
We start with a word eg. STAR, the next person then has to make a new word, my either taking a letter away ( SAT ) or by adding a new letter ( START ).
It's up to the individual, whatever you need to do to make a new word.
But you can only do one thing. eg, add one letter, take one letter away, and yes, swap one letter.

ok, i'll start with..

ok, so what now? Do we add or take away? Or both?

That would be

ire - boring, we've already had ires
tire - not sure if this is allowed

Does my game playing failure mean I'm socialy inadequate????

Rachel - I love your cat!
Anyway - back to the game! Is changing a letter allowed - if so tire will be made into tile

Rachel Squires · Sat May 17, 2008 4:54 pm

Rachel - I love your cat!

Thanks Milims, she is a cutie so long as she isn't out hunting!

Hmm, you have me stumped -

tyler???

She's an Asian, half burmese, half I forget what else. She did win a couple of rosettes when she was a kitten but then she stopped growing and is now too small to show (I dabbled with showing but it isn't really my scene) - just 3Kg, a little dot really. She has quite a short coat and feels the cold a bit so she's a real snuggle puss.
