"Build A Word" Game

[kjv1611]

I do not know if this has been done yet. I got the idea from the thread started STC, thread1229-1370254, "Just three words."

So, I got to thinking: What about building a word!

So, here's the game: I'll start it with just one letter. Then, different people can add a new letter to the word with each post in order to make a new word.

Here are the rules:
[ol][li]ONLY One letter per post can be added to the word. Type the new word, including your new letter.[/li]
[li]The new letter can be added/inserted at any place in the word[/li]
[li]The original letters MUST stay in the same order as before - even though you can add the new letter at any location, all others must remain intact (other than being split up by the new letter).[/li]
[li]No special characters: no dashes, etc.[/li]
[li]So as to avoid confusion, please underline the new letter, and the rest of the word in normal type.[/li]
[li]As in the 3 word thread, no double-postings.[/li]
[li]No profanity.[/li]
[li]Proper nouns (aka names of people, places, things) are allowed, so long as a reference can be provided for such. Please post a

http://WWW/internet

reference for any proper nouns.[/li]
[/ol]

Example thread series:
[ul][li]Post 1: e[/li]
[li]Post 2: be[/li]
[li]Post 3: bed[/li]
[li]Post 4: bead[/li][/ul]

This will be the RULES and DIRECTIONS thread only, I'll actually start the game in the very next post.

Um, to keep it all in order, I guess we're at:

ornate

The others were caused by simultaneous postings, which could cause all sorts of mix-ups in such a thread!

If one navigates to all of the wrong Internet sites, does s/he "pornate" her/his computer? <grin> (Or is the correct word, "pornify"?)

Obviously people are too impatient...

How about ornates?

Bye, Olaf.

treasons

Bye, p5

 

[kjv1611]

Hmmm,

I guess we're at this one:

tornate

Reason being that the pornate was just a joke, from what I can gather, and tornate did stay within the rule guidelines. So ornates came later, and treasons changed one of the previous letters around.

So, tornate is the current word to "beat" or to add to or whatever.

p5 -

No go, still at tornate

See:
5. The original letters MUST stay in the same order as before - even though you can add the new letter at any location, all others must remain intact (other than being split up by the new letter).

So, we're still at:

tornate
