[suttontennis]

hate to be a spoilsport, but on p1 of the thread the guidelines for playing the game are clearly set out
1. change a single letter eg site to bite, game to gate, hate to hats etc
2. add a single letter in any position eg wine to twine, grad to grand, come to comet
3. remove a single letter eg craze to raze, flare to fare, charm to char
4. rearrange the letters to form an anagram eg mane to name, posed to dopes, rare to rear
As the last few attempts haven't followed these perhaps it's time to reacquaint ourselves.

deacons

Taken from page 1 - 'If you feel the game has got "stuck" eg it ends up with a longish word that no-one seems to be able to do anything with, you may suggest that the game should be restarted, and assuming the next person is also unable to come up with a correct following word, then they can restart the game with a new 4-letter word of their choosing.' As deacons isn't a genuine change to second because it has rearranged the letters AND added one, if we are starting again then it should be with a new four letter word. But as it's only a bit of fun, we can't we carry on from 'deacons' ?
