ermm...sorry, but neither words are valid

maybe your diagram needs a little bit of work

Using the letters TAMPS, I can't get an anagram apart from STAMP, which has already been used.
But, I'd be interested in knowing which anagram you meant, Acorn?

So, I'm going with:

SPAT

...nor this word


you guys hitting the eggnog a little early?

ermm...sorry, but neither words are valid

Sitting down with the callipers, even now, and rechecking. Suitably chastised.

Happy to accept a new rule to forfeit a go for every word created after the fault is discovered.

I can't believe I put up SPAT !

Ah! I've worked out why I did.
It was because TAMPS was put up and it was said that there was an anagram. So, I was only looking at that word and all I could make was SPAT.
Not for a moment stopping to think about the rules!!!

A very big oops on my part!

Well done for keeping an eye on things, Mikey.

Good one Rik. Sadly, I neglected to enter my word other than in the list.

[OK Larry. I've deleted my post and word. And we'll go with your VAMP, which is a pretty good word, by the way]
