Okay, here's how the game works. You start with a word...and try to change it into another word, one letter at a time...the new word you create each time you make a change, must be, in itself, a word. Only use four-letter words.

Example:change DROP to KICK...here's the steps
DROP
CROP
COOP
COOL
POOL
POLL
PILL
MILL
MILK
SILK
SICK
KICK

Whoever first correctly posts the answer gets to issue the next challenge...the next set of words. and before you post, you must be sure that YOU know how it can be done...you can't just post two random words and make someone else work it out.

My challenge...change WOOD into FIRE (hint, this can be done in as little as four changes.)

Here's my challenge: change 'WORDGAMES' into 'AREBANNED'.

Here's my challenge: change 'WORDGAMES' into 'AREBANNED'.

Says who?

What the hell kind of rule is that? We're just having fun, you party pooper. If there IS such a rule, then I was not aware of it.

Says who?

The mods. More specifically Frisbeeteria:

Word Games are banned. Period. It's not a matter of bandwidth, they're just not coming back. If you want to play word games, go start or join some in the spam forum. They're not welcome here.

Well... she said they're not coming back... but it looks like they are...

But it seems it could be taken two different ways:

A) They're not coming back because she won't let them

or, the more probable answer

B) They aren't coming back because they aren't cool.

Well, then. That is news to me. Must have been a more recent change, like since we moved to Jolt, or something, because I was never made aware of it.

Please, no one else contribute to this thread, then...and please, Mods...lock it. I had no idea word games were banned.

Just trying to have a bit of fun on an otherwise boring evening. My apologies, I sincerely did not know of this rule.
