How Many Words...

[mikeymopar]

How about this ...

Copy and paste the list ... and add your word on to the end. That way the complete list is available in every post ...

+1 Keith...i hated the "table" way but it's how i was keeping track on my laptop so easy for me to screenshot. c/p per your suggestion is brilliant

nice to see everyone up to speed with the "rules" too.

Great idea guys & gals.

What I've done is to put it into some sort of alphabetical order.
Not perfect, but all the Bs together and all the Os etc...
That should make it easier to check if a word has been used.
Then when you come up with a word, put your word in the correct place.

FORTY (was the first!)
ADOPT - ALMOST - BOP - BELOW - BEST - CHIMPS - CHINTZ - DELTA - DRAB - DENY - EMPTY - EGO - ELM - EMU - ERST - EVAC - ETA - GAD - GLAD - GILT - HAM - HINZE - HIDE - HORDE - HORSE - KNOW - KNOT - KNOB - KEG - LOVE - LIKE - LAB - LEG - LOACH - LUCK - LOST - MOTH - MODEL - MORSEL - MORTAL - NAIL - NOPE - NOPAL - NORTH - NOVEL - OPEN - OUCH - OVEN - OWL - OVAL - ORACH - PUCE - PSYCHO - PACK - PSALM - QUACK - RACK - RADIO - STAR - SAD - STUDY - STUMP - STUDIO - SAILOR - STUDORS - SWAMP - TAILORS - TAMP - THIN - TWAIN - TUBER - TUBERS - TUMORS - TENOR - UART - WATERS - WHILST - YACHT - YELP - ZIP

OK. The last word was KNOT.

TACK

Rik, Not quite correct ....

I like the idea that you show your word and put it in the list, but the last word was not "KNOT"... So "Knot" is still available.

That also means that your word "Tack" is still available too.

The "K" was used in KEG in the post before, then emcat posted GILT and I posted TENOR.

GAD wasn't in the list, the word was EGAD

The word TAMP should have read STAMP

Also, STUDORS isn't a word, the word was TUDORS.

I have made the relevant corrections:

The next word should begin with "R" as TENOR was the last word used correctly.

Thanks, Keith.
I was getting a bit cross-eyed, moving the words!
Obviously I cut and pasted a few... well, not quite right.
Thanks for the corrections.

"U" left it a little awkward. Although I'm sure if we can allow UART, that we can allow ...

UZBEKS

No-one said that nouns aren't allowed! ... and it is a word.

I'm sure we all want everyone to take part.
So, there will be words that might not be acceptable.
Difficult to make a call, but, that's really up to the participants.
I had the idea, you guys have made the thread what it is, so, you're welcome to guide the thread.
