I heard about this game today.

You start off with a word and somebody follows it with another word but the following word must not contain any of the letters that are in the preceding word.

So if i start with the word Fox no following word shall contain an F an O or an X.

Apparentley its nigh on impossible to surpass 6 words though it can be done !

Shall we try ? could be interesting to see how far we could get ?



Fox

It

Gypsy

it would be more challenging if the words were related (look out Word Game!)
so
Caravan

bog

Do you think the game meant not using letters used in any of the previous words, cos at this rate we're goona sail past 6 words without catching breath

thats my reading of it and why six words max? 5 x One vowel and a word with y and thats yer lot...

I'll change my word to dub then.

gets us to 5

whelk

yes i distininctly said that the word cannot contain any of the letters in the previous word :rolleyes:

I think the words would have to be 5or6 letters minimum,which would look nice printed in a column,a bit like the change one letter at a time lists,might be a bit more difficult then so,,
BRING BORROW,,

Ahem

I think to make the game work so that its tough to get past 5 or 6 words, the rules must be that none of the letters in ANY of the previous words are re-used, not just the previous word. Otherwise you could go on for ever

So dont you go rolling your eyes at me, especially while I was on holidays

:P

;) :lol:

i thought i made myself clear ! i'm not going to tell you again ! :rolleyes:

NO LETTERS OR WORDS TO BE USED IN THE FOLLOWING WORDS !!!










:lol: :lol:

i didnt mean to use the roll!s eyes smiley i meant to use the winking one which is below it. i pressed the wrong one ;) :lol: (my ball mouse needed cleaning on that particular day)

:huh:
:D
:rolleyes:
:) :(
:blink:

There covered myself for all eventualities.


:lol:

Its a rubbish game anyway!

I heard about this game on a podcast i downloaded about aliens :lol:

apparently this man reckons that he is in contact with aliens who have been teaching him stuff. This game is supposed to be very difficult yet he was doing it easily.

He dont post here though :lol:

i just wondered how far we could take it.

Start with Rhythmn coz its long and got no vowel,but snowey is right its impossible to go over 6.&,+(spelt plus)?

The original game of this thread,went the way of so many,so as an alternative see if you can punctuate(stops and commas)the following.dont know if its too easy.
THAT THAT IS IS THAT THAT IS NOT IS NOT
.

?..Ah the mysteries THAT IS grammar...

umm - so what were the rules again?

When the ball is kicked, if there is 1 or less defender (including the goalkeeper) closer to the goal than an attacker that is interfering with play, then it is :

OFFSIDE

:rolleyes:

...assuming there are no Russian referees or Russian linesmen/lineswomen...

I only just noticed you edited my post in the box. This will not do.

I thought I would help. Otherwise it (could) looks just like a continuum..so then I would just take the first and the last word...something different?again..?

P.S you are free to edit mine (especially the spelling pistakes.)

That that is, is that that is, not, is not.

This was on the tearjerking film Charlie, about the stupid guy, who was made clever, for a while, then the drug wore off. Very sad film, not bad though.
That,, that is,, is.... That,, that is not,,, is not...

I do believe we live in plural worlds...is that 'not', not 'is'?..just is 'not'.?

In fact what happened, two egytian boys met, and one pointing to the others damp jumper, said "That!! That Isis!!" mening, he had splashed his jumper with water from the river. the other replies, "That isnot, isnot" in a very insistent manner. thus,

:lol: ...that's what happens when you 'walk like an egyptian'. :lol:

Interesting Egyptian story, I read in a mag once, about a model that was found in a tomb. It revealed the secret of how they shifted those huge stones. It was very clever, the way they did it. Amazed me!!

I like the one about the Egyptian pictorial painting. Apparently they liked that side-on view because it was the way they used to paint people back in the ol' days.
You were squashed between to large pieces of wood(like woodcuts) and the head was always side-on to get the largest profile.
They were a vain lot the Egyptians,they were, so they were.

Apparantly something like this cradle--segmented into 4 arc,s --that could be folded around a block of stone, and joined, was found in aTOMB.
Working now, I hope.
