Change then rearrange; it's been done quite a few times already.

(sorry to be pedantic but do we either add, take, or re-arrange..... singular. Or can we do all three at once....or maybe just do two )

whistler

I assumed that we could change a letter and rearrange at the same time. I see that I've just changed one, added another and rearranged too. You changed two letters and then rearranged. I'm getting confused now. Comments anyone?

sorry barnsbury .... what should we be doing

 

[wotan]

I would think....
1/ rearrange existing letters
2/ change one letter
3/ add one letter

comments?

Or, as a final resort, remove one letter. This will sometimes be necessary if the game is not to stall - but dock yourself a point at the same time.

So, by those rules, whistler cannot transform into hustlers because two letters have changed. Maybe Susie would like another go.

ooooh SC you added two...
I'm sorry barnsbury but I think this game needs pen and paper...its like making an anagram and I can only do that when I write it down....

 

[Barnsbury]

Sorry, not been paying attention (too busy thinking up odd words for the sentence thread!!)

the idea is to either add, take or change a letter. THEN rearrange
so you can....

Add and rearrange
take and rearrange
change and rearrange

ooooh SC you added two...

I added one (i), changed one (t to r) and then rearranged. Was I not allowed to do that.

Maybe Barnsbury has it right. You can only add, remove or change then rearrange.
