Juliabam Posted May 18, 2008 Share Posted May 18, 2008 You know, that might very well be the original reason why I tried to make this add OR subtract. lol So maybe we do need to revise the rules just a bit. NEW revised RULES On each turn, you must add OR subtract letters from the old word to make a new word, but not both if you subtract letters, it is preferred, though not required, that those letters you are not subtracting must be kept in the same order if you add letters, you may add them anywhere in the word, and it is preferred, though not required, that the letters must be kept in the same order this is not exclusively an anagram game, i.e., you can not simply rearrange the letters of one word to form another. However, if you add or subtract letters and must rearrange the remaining letters to form a new word, you may do so. The important thing is that you add or subtract letters first. I think that covers everything. So, since the last word was hsif, ummmm, fish then I'm going to make the next word ofishal. WAIT, that's not how that is spelled. Okay, instead, I'll choose fisheries. Hmmm..then I subtract - e e r i s - and end up with..... Fish Link to comment
underwhere Posted May 18, 2008 Author Share Posted May 18, 2008 Hmmm..then I subtract - e e r i s - and end up with..... Fish You know, this is starting to smell really fishy. (Thats not my word though.) subtract fi and get a particularly good word for babies: sh Oh, and if you come back with "fish" again, I have another word for that too. Link to comment

Pushtu is one the official languages of Afghanistan, it is for some reason also called Pashto - so for the quick there will be a lot more letters to mess around with. ... Actually in Pushtu/Pashto, they have 40 different ones, but you better read them yourself if you wish to (wishto??) know them.. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pushtu Link to comment
