The first thread has passed the 1000 posts and has been closed down.

Here is the first post of Elanor explaining the game.

These are the rules: there is an English dictionary word (Scrabble rules-- no names, etc.), and on each turn you can change it in one of the following ways, to another English dictionary word:

- insert one letter (far --> fear)

- remove one letter (fear --> ear)

- swap two letters (ear --> era)
Clarification:
The letters don't have to be next to each other (rout - tour).
You can also move a letter to the beginning or end of the word, 'swapping' the letter with an empty space. (brake --> baker).

- change one letter to another (era --> err)

Let's see how long we can keep it going!

Here's the first word:

nerve

And here is the last post of the previous thread:

Still the sea, Consolingly disastrous, will return While the strange starfish, hugely magnified, Waits in the jewelled basin of a pool.
