MOTH _____________________

MYTH

an old undocumented story

RYTH

A ford

Well done Chipper, I thought we'd be stuck for a while there ;)
This game can be quite educational actually!


RUTH


Compassion or pity for another (I didn't know that)

RUSH
To be honest, I was going to go with METH, but wanted to avoid going down that route. So... did a Google search on byth, cyth, dyth ... ryth


Never knew this either, but it makes sense -- we hear about somebody being ruthless.

RUST

A film or coating on metal caused by oxidation.

DUST

turmoil

GUST

strong, abrupt rush of wind

GIST

the main point of an argument

MIST


small droplets suspended in air

MISS

(I moved the 3rd letter to 4th position and put a new one in its place.)

Isn't that against the rules? :eek:


KISS

a show of affection using the lips

HISS

A sharp sibilant sound with a sustained 's'

THIS

(not THAT)

THUS

therefore, consequently

I think he was being silly -- if he replaced the 4th letter with an S, it gives the same result. ;):)

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Anyway -- back to the game:

THUG

a criminal

Yea, I was being silly too :D

HUGE

very BIG

HUGH

Mr Grant is at it again..

HIGH

what skyscrapers are:

Malc -- did you accidently violate the rule with HUGE?

SIGH

take an airy breath, often expressing weariness

(Which rule do you think he broke? THUG > THUG > HUGE > HUGE seems fine to me)

SIGN

I may have an incorrect interpretation of rule #3: I thought you had to replace a letter but the other three had to be in the same position. THUG to HUGE moves H from 2nd position to 1st, U from 3 to 2 and G from 4 to 3. Either method is fine with me. :)

SINE

trigonometric function

Quote:

3. You can only change one letter, the three unchanged letters must remain in the same order.

SINS

Things that sort of break the rules - at least those rules set by the creator - though not the creator of this thread! :p

Actually I didn't break the rules: I thought I'd write MISS but then I saw the rules also allow me to put the S between the I and S in MIS.

FINS

the Finnish -- or stabilizing appendages used by fish and vehicles flying in the air or water

FANS

Things I have to replace in my son's computer, or: people currently mourning the death of Michael Jackson.
