The Add/Swap/Change/Delete Game
Posted: Wed Apr 16, 2008 5:54 pm
Rules:
We start with a word and the next poster can do one of the following with it:
- Add one character OR
- remove one character OR
- change one character OR
- swap the place of two characters (which do not need to be adjacent)
For example:
hat > hats > hates > gates > grates > rates > rats > tars > stars > sitars
and so on.
If it turns into a sentence then that's alright. In fact, that would be great.
The characters can be letters, numbers, or spaces.
Punctuation can be added freely where necessary and doesn't cost a move.
All words must be real words.
If you can't come up with anything then you can cancel what the previous person did, but try to avoid that.
The root word is:
it
