Here's the game: i'll post a four-letter word and you need to come up with another four-letter word by changing only one letter in the original word then someone else will take what you wrote and do the same thing to your word and then it will keep going.
I.E.
Blue
Glue
Glee
Flee
Free
Tree
you get the idea...
here is the first word:
CHOP
-
Shop
-
Shoe
-
show
-
oh yeah and try not to repeat words but you can if necessary.
-
Shoe
-
it is still on show. shoe was already said.
-
chow
-
Shot
-
that changed two letters.
-
Chow -> Chew
that changed two letters.
I was replying to Alex's post....
Also, I think it has to be actual words, not abbreviations.
-
shew. It is a real word.
-
Shew -> Slew
-
sled
-
Can't Have Abbreviations THX browarod
fled
-
pled
-
pled
I think you meant "plead", but I'll go along with it anyway.
Pled -> Bled
-
bleh. I looked it up in my hand dictionary. It is also a word.
-
Bleh -> Blah
-
blaw
-
Blay
-
clay
-
clad
-
cyad. Cyad is a game piece.
-
Fine, I'll continue.
cyan
-
Clan
-
clam
-
Cram
-
Gram
-
Guam
-
This game would be more interesting to me if you also could add a single letter to make the next word. The goal could be to see how big of a word you could end up making.
-
I like Prof Underwood's idea, in which case I present: Guam -> Guano
Otherwise, mine is this: Guam -> Glam
-
I like Prof's idea, but it should be either/or, so I'll go with Glam from you.
Glad.
-
Glad -> Flad
It's a word:
http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=define%3A+flad&btnG=Search (http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=define%3A+flad&btnG=Search)
-
Flad -> Flag
-
Flog
-
Flog -> Frog
-
From
-
ok Prof's idea is cool
Frown
-
lets keep going. Froe
or
by your method ... wait it is etither or, add or take away right?. You added and took away.

Froe isn't a word.

Ben, we'd better make sure this doesn't become bad scrabble.
I have played some scrabble since that time but never had anywhere near the suggestiveness or vulgarity in a single game. How did it happen that those words were all played on one board?
-
I'll just shorten it back up.
bump
-
lump
-
limp
-
limp
Wimp (Pyramid!!!!!)
-
blimp
-
Kimp
What it means
Kimp-to creepily dance on another person, particularly a stranger, without his/her knowledge.
What I thought it was:
Kimp- to curl one's hair.
I think that might be crimp or something like that.

Gimp

This was the last word that didn't break the rules.
