Hi there!
Could this be classed as a game or just another rubbish post?
RULES:
A) The idea is to start off with a four-letter word and players add a new word either by
1) Changing one letter and
retaining the order of the other letters
2) Changing one letter and
rearranging the order of the other letters
3) Dropping one letter and
retaining the order of the other letters
4) Dropping one letter and
rearranging the order of the other letters
5) Adding one letter and
retaining the order of the other letters
6) Adding one letter and
rearranging the order of the other letters
but
CAN ONLY USE ONE of these options in doing so
For example:
Start word = Kate (the Brambling finch ...... source

Next word = skate (option A5)
Next word = seat (option A4)
Next word = eat (option A3)
Next word = beat (option A5)
Next word = beast (option A5)
Next word = best (option A3)
Next word = set (option A4)
Next word = West (option A6)
Next word = East (option A1)
Next word = salt (option A2)
Next word = sat (option A3)
Next word = spat (option A5)
Next word = tapes (option A6)
Next word = gates (option A2)

B)
ALL WORDS MUST BE OF THREE LETTERS, FOUR LETTERS, OR FIVE LETTERS
C) A player
CANNOT play off of his/her own word
D)
WORDS MUST BE IN THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE
E) Words may be repeated (this is inevitable) ......
but should be avoided on the most recent page
F) Plurals accepted (e.g dads, shops)
G) Proper Nouns accepted (i.e. the names of individual people
[but no surnames], places, titles, calendar times, etc. ...... For example Joe; Mary; Texas; Duke; March)

I) Try to avoid slang ...... and
DEFINITELY NO VULGARITIES
J)
NO ACRONYMS (a word formed from the initial letters or groups of letters of words in a set phrase or series of words, as OPEC from Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries, or loran from long-range navigation.)
K)
ANAGRAMS (words, phrases, or sentences formed from another by rearranging its letters: “Angel” is an anagram of “glean.”) are inevitable ......
but should be avoided on the most recent page
L)
ABBREVIATIONS [as distinct from acronyms] accepted ...... but only if it is so widely used that it has in essence become a term in its own right, such as exam (examination), auto (automobile). Do not use any that viewers will not immediately recognise.
M)
Please keep it clean and tidy
N) Words submitted will be verified using
http://dictionary.reference.com backed up by Chambers Words for Crosswords and Wordgames and I reserve the right to restart the game should any word not comply
