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. |

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 |

I don't think sewn-moan is an acceptable single tranformation.
sewn -> news EDIT: We're already at 1000 posts? Wow.
