Here's my post again from Sat December 8th for anyone who's still confused...

"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"

Hi holding, let’s say there’s a 7-letter word. You can drop two of those letters, leaving 5, or add any two, making 9. Or you can just add or subtract one. Yes you are right, those three changes would be one too many. Nice to see you playing, and welcome!
If anyone else thinks I haven’t explained correctly please feel free to comment.
Marydoll Those are the rules.
I was trying it on with Baggage with 2 letter changes which is allowed but I was a letter short in my offering smile

Bellanonna Thu 13-Dec-18 21:40:14

As far as I know, M, you can drop 2, add 2 or change 2. Or a combination of that. That’s how it was when Elegran started it up about 3 years ago.

Jangran99 Thu 13-Dec-18 21:37:10

3 additions would be wrong Go back to Page 24 where Joy gave the original rules Mary ?.

Marydoll Thu 13-Dec-18 21:26:41

Help! I'm hopelessly lost now. confused
Can someone please tell me exactly how many changes are allowed in total? I seem to be under the misapprehension that only TWO changes are permitted in total. Either additions or subtractions or combination of additions or subtractions.
However, I have previously seen three additions to a word, so I haven't a clue now.

Jangran99 Thu 13-Dec-18 20:55:31

2 new letters and 3 unused!
