Add or Take Away Game (no maths skills required!)

[Dakano]

With a word, add or take away one letter to make a new word. You may jumble the original word up but you may add/take away only one letter.

You may also change one letter of the word but you may not jumble up the word if doing so.

If we end up at a dead end, I'll post a new one to try and keep the game going.

edit: here's a helpful website: http://www.morewords.com/

the rules seem to have gone to pot long ago...are we just doing any combination of adding and/or removing and/or replacing and/or rearranging letters?

[Felishka]

isn't that what it says we can do at the start? That you can only do one of them... add a letter, or subtract a letter, change a letter (also rearrange when doing any of these)? (we could hit a lot of dead ends if we can't rearrange)

selected

[glitch]

yes but it seems more common to do more than one now. not that it matters i guess.

deselect

[Felishka]

if it keeps the game flowing, whatever... :P
