Here is what we do....and for anyone just joining in, we have upped the challenge as we have gone along...started with four letters, changing just one each time, now we are playing with EIGHT letters, with the ability to change TWO of them each time......

We start with one word
Next person can only change one letters to make a new word
Use English only (I know this is debatable but you know what I mean)
No adding letters
Letters can be mixed around (for example rate could be made into tear)

Here goes the first word!

Pray

I am changing shelters to smeltery. I changed the h to an m and the last s to a y.

Smeltery is where ore is smelted.

O, a trouble's a ton or a trouble's an ounce,
Or a trouble is what you make it!
And it isn't the fact that you're hurt that counts,
But only--how did you take it?

Do over!!

I lost a letter the last time down to 7 so I'm going back to mufflers and changing it to tumblers by changing f and f to t and b.

Sorry about that!

mufflers to gruffly by changing m and s to g and y.

This game is great brain exercise. I try to figure it out in my head but usually resort to pen and paper. I feel like a kid again as I grab the dictionary that had been collecting dust.
At a baby shower last week there was a game of scrambled words. I tied for second place with a group of bright young mothers and think this game is part of the reason.
Thanks for sharing the fun.

Sorry. Ok, Let's see..Restates is the last 8 letter word I see..how about Stressed change the t to s and the a to a d. Does that work? Joey

Cindy Lou Posted - May 24 2011 : 9:15:38 PM
I believe the original plan was an 8 letter word, change two letters. Can we just add one letter back and then go from there?
