I understand that thread finally locked up over at WorldMagBlog.
Perhaps this will work as a substitute for it.
Here are the rules:
- We’ll start off with the word loll.
- The first player should change one letter of loll and post it in the comment section.
- Subsequent players should work off the last word published in the comment section.
- You can’t add letters.
- You can’t use foreign (or foul!) languages.
- You can only change one letter.
- You can’t repeat a word already used.
Why loll as the starting word? Because that’s the last word used at WorldMagBlog. 🙂
Rule Update: Rearranging the order of existing letters does not constitute changing a letter.
Name Update: This is now Cyberian Scramble, but I’ll leave the post title the same.

So, Mark. We are competing now? I restarted the Scrabble thread over at my blog, but continued with the 2129 revious words. I suppose we can see who gets the most visitors, though I belive it will be just one or two from WMB.
Since you are starting afresh, that means any other word is game. Along as you don’t charge a TOLL, this will be fun!
Oh for a spell check (or better proofreading on my part)! “As long as you don’t charge a TOLL…”
Let’s ROLL!
hmmm, how about POLL
never played this on WMB but my hubby and kids did play in a
POOL
on Sat.
Did they PLOP in with a splash?
I guess I am a FOOL for challenging the blog host. Not to nitpick, but doesn’t using plop after pool change more than one letter? I hope I don’t FLOP in so doing. (There, you can decide which of my words to follow after, since it is your blog!)
As far as I can tell, I changed one letter (ie, o) in going from pool to plop.
But perhaps I misunderstand how this game is to be played. Does changing a letter’s location count as changing the letter itself?
I assumed not, since this is Scrabble.
But like I said, perhaps I misunderstand how it’s played.
Let’s FLIP this back to playing the game.
Understandable, Mark. The understanding we followed on the original is that moving a letter counts as changing it, thus pool to plop was considered a two letter change. However, this is your game, go for it if you want!
Sorry for making a FLAP about it.
A round of hearty applause for us all–let’s CLAP
Now let’s stomp our feet, each with a vigorous CLOP.
Stomp vigorously; but not in the SLOP!
Yeah, because slop may well make your feet SLIP.
I took a PILL this morning. (Actually, two capsules of activated charcoal.)
Hey Mark! I tried charcoal. Now I have had my FILL.
I WILL not get involved in another scrabble!
Yeah, Chas, but this is Scramble…and it could be more WILD than any ole scrabble!
I guess Chas prefers MILD games.
Far be it from me to stick my neck out on a LIMB regarding Chas’ preferences. 😆
(Come on, Chas — see how fun it is?!)
Mark- you know how much Chas is like a LAMB.
You know, now that you started doing Boggle, this one seems a little LAME.
Lame, huh? I agree. But I still wonder how good Chas’ will power will be. He better rejoin us before it’s too LATE.
