er - I am afraid you can only change one thing SG, remove a letter or do an anagram. Its possible to make a plural singular RL.

we already had lupine - above.

[KnightOwl]

Yes, I know - we'd had lupin as well, and supine - sometimes it's not easy to avoid. I didn't put anything in the rules about duplication, for that reason. I don't think we should have direct duplication ie word followed by cord followed by word, but if there are a few in between, and it's a tricky word, I don't have a problem with it :)

lineup

[RoastLamb]

I just fear we'll keep going round in circles if we duplicate words.

linkup

[KnightOwl]

Absolutely, I agree - it should be avoided wherever possible - I just meant that sometimes it may not be possible/easy so we need to be tolerant of that...

errrr Pat I'm afraid you can only do one change at a time, either add or remove a letter or an anagram.

[KnightOwl]

Sorry, Pat - that doesn't work as there is a letter missing - as RL is worried we're getting stuck, I'll restart...

I thought you wre able to remove a letter as well as add one!!! That is what it says at the beginning and |i have removed the i.

[cazza99]

I thought you wre able to remove a letter as well as add one!!! That is what it says at the beginning and |i have removed the i.

if you remove a letter you can't make an anagram in the same go. If you removed the i it would have to be "spnules"

[supergran]

Absolutely, I agree - it should be avoided wherever possible - I just meant that sometimes it may not be possible/easy so we need to be tolerant of that... nkI don't always go to previous page, just post on page visible. That is probably how duplication occurs.

[patmoren]

An anagram is a word made from all the letters of another, I didn't do that!

Not to worry, Pat :) It was just that you removed a letter and rearranged the remaining letters - you're really only supposed to do one or the other, that was all...
