4. If it is a new word and starts with the last letter of the previous entry...YOU'RE SCORE IS X3

5. The New Word must exist in the Oxford English Dictionary.

6. All words MUST be English and be able to be used in a common sentance.

7. No Plurals

8. You can only score points if your entry is Valid.

9. Challenges can be made on any players entry within the Same Day.

10. Challengers will be awarded extra points if successful, but deducted points if failed.

11. A Duplicated entry in the same week will be Invalid.

NEW RULE

Since I will be running this game for the next two weeks and I don't have an OED like Sypher had, if the work can't be found in this site :
' http://www.onelook.com/
,
it will be invalid. When Sypher returns, it will be up to him if he wants to keep this rule in effect.

I hope you enjoy the game while Sypher is away.

After day one we have only 8 players. Maybe more will come. "Build it and they will come!"

The word "EXIT" had been used in a previous game. The rest are new.

Here are the scores so far:

Baglady.........39
Purple Fan......28
Cellardoor......28
val9001.........26
Pinhead.........20
Dumpling........15
Sagebrush.......15
eyeball.........15
Thunder.........0

Now we are ready for the five letter day. The last word yesterday was "FIXT".

If you drop the F and replace it with a W, then add a T, yoou would be able to form the word:

TWIXT

Good luck everybody!

Well, so much for the "last shall be first" approach - I'm stumped from that end, so I'll just swap that "W" out and make
KITTY
and I'll wish you better skills than I possess, BagLady!!!

Day two is gone and had one invalid entry. All entries were new words.

The scores reflect the daily followed by the total.

Here are the scores so far:


Cellardoor......57 = 85
Pinhead..........51 = 73
val9001..........38 = 64
Sagebrush......45 = 60
eyeball...........42 = 57
Dumpling........42 = 57
Purple Fan......22 = 50
Baglady..........00 = 39
Mamaja..........24 = 24


My entry for today will be invalid. So there will be no challanges on it. I enter it only because the game must go on and the word "YUKKY" was too hard to create a word from. I used as many of the letters I could.

KALMYK

Good Luck!

Wow! yesterday was a rough 6 letter day! Nobody scored anything. Total scores are same as above. Today should be better.

Remove one of the Ks and change the A to I =

Another Y.No thanks I think I will change the M
to an S mix and you have

SILKY which is an adjective.

Let's get rid of that ***** "Y" - changing it to an "N" and then I'll just
SLINK
away!
(That's a verb, all you techno-crats out there - it means to move stealthily!)
