Congratulations to the number one scrambler for last week: Cellardoor

And the scores were:

Cellardoor......39 = 175
Pinhead..........51 = 169
Sagebrush......39 = 127
Purple Fan......22 = 96
eyeball............00 = 96
Dumpling........00 = 79
Baglady..........18 = 79
Mamaja..........24 = 66
val9001..........00 = 64

We will start out this week with the word:

ABLE

Good luck and have fun!

Change the A to an O and then reverse the order =

ELBO

L becomes Y for
OBEY
I obeyed my timeslot

I'm going to swap that "B" for an "M" and scramble well to get:
YEOM
I trust we are using "Onelook" because this is to be found there as a short form of Yeoman. In my 1977 Webster's New Collegiate desk top hard bound version, it says it is another form of yeomanry, the collective term for the men serving as yeomen.
Yeo!!!

YEOM - "E" + "P" = MOPY

(adj.) also, mopey
languishing, listless, droopy, or glum

-----------------
I don't give a damn for a man that can spell a word only one way.
....Mark Twain

MOPY minus O plus A and a shuffle yeilds:
YAMP
noun
An umbelliferous plant (Carum Gairdneri) eaten by Native Americans from Idaho to California.

yamp -m +s shuffle and begin with last letter

[b]Pays[/b}

PAYS - Y + Z =

SPAZ

First day gone, ready for 5 letter day.

The scores reflect the daily followed by the total.

Here are the scores so far:

Pinhead..........45 = 45
Baglady..........33 = 33
val9001..........33 = 33
Jabberwock.......27 = 27
Dumpling ........27 = 27
Mamaja...........27 = 27
Sagebrush........18 = 18
Purple Fan.......00 = 00

Here is my word for today:

Change the S to a P, then add a Y and Spaz becomes:

ZAPPY

Slang.
Lively: a zappy advertisement.

lose the Z, for a Y, and switch the ends for:

YAPPY~ adjective

Please note that I am starting my word with the "Y" from the end of Jabberwock's word, not the one from the beginning!!! LOL!!!
YUPPY
"OneLook" refers me to the Cambridge on-line dictionary, where this work is provided, with alternate spellings as well, as "a young person who lives in a city, earns a lot of money and spends it doing fashionable things and buying expensive possessions." My translation is "early marriage - two incomes, no children!"

YUPPY - "Y" + "C" = CUPPY

adj. Cup-shaped; hollow/having indentations or depressions

------------------
The two most beautiful words in the English language are "Check Enclosed".
...Dorothy Parker

cuppy -c +P =puppy

PUPPY - P + B =

BUPPY

Bup·py : a young, upwardly mobile black professional.

To show everybody how you shouldn't give up, look at the scores for Monday. I was on the bottom trailing the leader by 27 points. After just one day and one word I am in the lead by 8 points. If I can do it, anybody can. LOL

I had forgotten to put the letter values in the beginning, so here they are now:

A.........1 N.........1
B.........3 O.........1
C.........3 P.........3
D.........2 Q........10
E.........1 R.........1
F.........4 S.........1
G.........2 T.........1
H.........4 U.........1
I.........1 V.........4
J.........8 W.........4
K.........5 X.........8
L.........1 Y.........4
M.........3 Z........10

The scores reflect the daily followed by the total.

Here are the scores so far:

Sagebrush.......63 = 81
Pinhead..........28 = 73
Jabberwock....45 = 72
Mamaja..........45 = 72
Baglady..........28 = 61
Pling ..............28 = 55
val9001..........00 = 33

ok, my 6 letter entry is:

Change the B to I and then add an E for the magical brew. Stir a little and BUPPY becomes:

YUPPIE

"He is a tipical Yuppie"

That's a tough one.
best I can do is
MUPPIE.
He is a typical muppie

I don't see a prospect starting with that "E" but I'll trade in the "I" for an "R" and shuffle to get
PUMPER
The firemen arrived on the scene with their pumper truck to extinguish the fire.
(That isn't anger - that's the guy waiting for the pumper truck!)

PUMPER - "P" + "L" = RUMPLE

v. To wrinkle or form into folds or creases.
n. An irregular or untidy crease.

The rumple of the sheets matches the style of my hair when I get up in the morning!

------------------
Disinformation is not as good as datinformation.

Aghhh sorry I'm late the clock on this blasted computer is playing up again

Rumple -r +m =pummel

PUMMEL - M + D =

LUMPED

Two days to go. Choose the right letters and it could be anybody's game. The five (5) letter day is back.

The scores reflect the daily followed by the total.

Here are the scores so far:

Sagebrush.......39 = 120
Pinhead...........33 = 106
Jabberwock....26 = 98
Mamaja..........24 = 96
Baglady..........30 = 91
Pling ..............24 = 79
val9001..........00 = 33

Now for my entry:

Change the M to R, drop the L[b], then stir a little and "LUMPED" becomes:

[b]DUPER

One who deceives (an unwary person).

"She was fooled by a duper."

lose the P for an X, and scramble 'em for:
REDUX ~adj. resurgent

I can't come up with a starter for the "X" but I'll pitch the "R" for another "E" and make
EXUDE
as in "She exudes confidence." It's a verb.

EXUDE - "X" + "C" = EDUCE

v.t. 1. to draw forth or bring out
2. to infer or deduce.

------------------
Man does not live by words alone, despite the fact that sometimes he has to eat them.
...Adlai Stevenson

Educe -e +l = clued
