Hi there!
I have updated the rules as follows, allowing for more flexibility
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 a letter
4) Adding a letter
but CAN ONLY USE ONE of these options in doing so
For example:
Start word = BOOT
Next word = LOOT (option A1), TOOL (option A2), BOO (option A3), BOOTY (option A4)
B) ALL WORDS MUST BE OF THREE LETTERS, FOUR LETTERS, OR FIVE LETTERS
C) A player CANNOT play off of his/her own word
All other rules remain the same
Let's restart from the last word posted:
