tune--> tuna

Wow, great words everybody. Sorry I'm not on here more often. Points for:
Count Comfect (bora, otus, pap),
Telcontar_Dunedain (ora),
sun-star (tor, mot, cade)
Nerdanel (grot, pott)
Pytt (lotus)
brownjenkins (shote)
Rian (roe, rote)

I agree with CC that an empty space should be able to be a letter. So to clarify and expand the swap rule, you can swap any two letters (rout --> tour) or just move a letter to the start or end of the word (brake --> baker). That should make things a little more exciting, and this game has been a bit too constricting, I think.

Count Comfect · 11-03-2005, 10:14 PM

sweet

tuna -> tun

954 liters

Elanor · 11-04-2005, 12:12 AM

tun --> tung (as in tung oil)

Ok, I also updated the first post.

To make this funner, for every point you've earned you can do 2 changes at a time, even if the in-between step isn't a legal word (urge --> udge --> budge). This way we can get more interesting words.

I'm also authorizing Count Comfect and sun-star to give and keep track of points since they have the most right now (I'm sure they'll also help me police for nonexistent and repeated words, which I hate doing). The current standing:

Count Comfect 5 (tun)
Telcontar_Dunedain 1,
sun-star 4
Nerdanel 2
Pytt 1
brownjenkins 2
Rian 2
Hector 1

Count Comfect · 11-04-2005, 03:04 AM

tung -> bung

Elanor · 11-05-2005, 09:40 PM

bung --> lung

ok, maybe I scared everyone away... we don't have to keep score if no one wants to!

Nerdanel · 11-05-2005, 10:26 PM

lung --> ung

ung: Uracil N-Glycosylase. Has a somewhat technical application in PCR.

Count Comfect · 11-05-2005, 11:38 PM

ung -> gun

***Rían*** · 11-05-2005, 11:51 PM

oh oh ....

gun --> GNU!!!!

Nerdanel · 11-06-2005, 06:44 PM

gnu --> enu (N-ethyl-N-nitrosourea, i.e. chemical formula C3H6N3O2)

( is this even allowed? XD )

Count Comfect · 11-06-2005, 09:41 PM

(I'm a gnu... how about you? I'm gnot a camel or a kangaroo)

enu -> end

strider8 · 11-07-2005, 02:14 PM

end-->den

Pytt · 11-07-2005, 02:23 PM

den -> eden

***Rían*** · 11-07-2005, 03:57 PM

eden -> even

Telcontar_Dunedain · 11-07-2005, 05:58 PM

even --> ever

Nerdanel · 11-07-2005, 07:03 PM

ever --> sever

Count Comfect · 11-07-2005, 07:12 PM

sever -> seven

Nerdanel · 11-07-2005, 09:32 PM

seven --> sewen

(sew·en : noun
Definitions: Ireland zoology, another spelling of sewin)
(sew·in (plural sew·ins or sew·in) or sew·en (plural sew·ens or sew·en) : noun
Definitions: Ireland; same as sea trout (sense 2) )

Elanor · 11-07-2005, 10:10 PM

sewen--> sewn

Gandalfthegray · 11-07-2005, 10:25 PM

sewn-moan

Count Comfect · 11-07-2005, 10:50 PM

I don't think sewn-moan is an acceptable single tranformation.

sewn -> news

EDIT: We're already at 1000 posts? Wow.
