View Full Version : Expand Your Knowledge!
The Rules:
You may not repeat a word.
You may not rearrange the letters of a word (No anagrams).
You must inflict one change to the previous word. This will include adding, removing, or changing a single letter. But only one of these.
Types of words not allowed:
- Acronyms
- Proper Nouns
- Abbreviations
- Non-English words that are not part of common speech
Do not double post unless a period of 24 hours has passed since you last posted. Double posts, etc. will be deleted and play will continue from the first posted word.
You may challenge the validity of a word. If you win, you are responsible for posting a new word to start from.
All words must be shown on their own line, and on the following line used in a sentence. (To further the point that this is a game to learn from, not just spam in.)
When a faulty word is used, and several people have built on it within the current game, and you later notice it, you can go back and challenege the word, and start with a new word at that point (built off the word prior to the faulty word). If you do this make sure you note what post you're going back to, what word you're challenging and why.
When someone didn't post fast enough and posts a wrong word, the game will continue at the post before. If you were beaten in posting a word, and your word doesn't work anymore, you may do one of two things:
If there are no posts after your word, and no one's likely to post anytime soon, you can edit your word to make it work.
However, if someone has posted after you, or is likely to post before you finish editing your post, you must edit your post to say to reflect that you'd been beaten to posting.
For now, we'll allow for any commerical site that is available online and is accessable for free, without registration as an acceptable source.
ready?
Let the game begin with the word: "Sour"
