Cherrytree59 Sorry but your entry fails the rules. Sad that I am having to tell you this, this is tempered by the fact that I have gone to considerable lengths to follow Corpuscles. smile

Aarrgghh!

Why does it fail?

I don't know where we're supposed to be now. What's going on? It's the first time we've had this argumentation on this forum.
So would someone tell me where to start from?

Melanieeastanglia Sat 08-Dec-18 21:41:07

I don't know either. If we follow SCRUPLES perhaps?

PRESSURE

Oops! Sorry Marydoll.

I see you wrote PLEASURE.

Never mind, PRESSURE will still follow your word.

'Scruples' was absolutely fine! Cherry has simply subtracted 2 letters from 'Corpuscles'. tchsmile

I've found the original thread from when we began playing this game in July 2016 and thought it might be useful to show the 'rules' as they were set out by Indinana when she introduced the game. Hope this clarifies any recent 'queries'!

You can change, add or subtract a letter and reshuffle the letters to make a new word.
You may make up to TWO amendments. For example you can:
a) change two letters
b) add two letters
c) subtract two letters
d) change one letter and subtract one letter
e) change one letter and add one letter

Vespers

(That's from 'Pressure' in case anybody was wondering!!!)

Melanieeastanglia Sat 08-Dec-18 21:54:45

Thank you JoyBloggs.

I try to follow the rules but know I have fallen from grace occasionally!

Marydoll Sat 08-Dec-18 22:03:08

Thanks Joy for reminding us. I was beginning to doubt myself.

I also have made a few mistakes over the years, but thank goodness people are understanding☺️

Sorry, I was too slow off the mark.

Marydoll got "Reference" in first.
