How to playBelow is a four letter word.  Copy and paste it into your post (don't quote or the quotes could get ridiculously long). Change/Replace one letter and type it in next to the original word.  The next person to reply will need to copy and paste two words and so on and so on.No repeating of words.  (To check if a word has already been used, hit control F, a "Find" box will appear on your tool bar, type the word in there. (Thanks for that tip LookN!, Your way is fine too, Phil...I just don't remember what it is!) Let's see how many words we come up with by changing one letter at a time.RULES:1. This game is loosely based on the board game SCRABBLE.  We are following the rules for acceptable words as set forth by SCRABBLE.Acceptable words:"All words labeled as a part of speech (including those listed of foreign origin, and as archaic, obsolete, colloquial, slang, etc are permitted". (Note on foreign words - they must be words that have been incorporated into the English language, i.e. Fino (Spanish sherry) is acceptable, Vous (French for you) is NOT acceptable)Unacceptable words:"Words always capitalized (proper nouns), abbreviations, prefixes and suffixes standing alone, words requiring a hyphen or an apostrophe".     2. As much fun as it would be to rearrange letters, that defeats the purpose of the game.  THE CHALLENGE IS IN CHANGING/REPLACING ONE LETTER!!!       3. You can only play ONE word at a time.     4. If a word is challenged, the correction should be made by the person who catches it and play continues from the correction forward.  If words are lost because of that, then shame on all for not catching it sooner.  Before you "change" a word, please make ABSOLUTELY CERTAIN it truly ISN'T acceptable by looking it up in the final source. See next rule.   5.  (as suggested by Desperado). The following is the final source on acceptable words, if you can't find it here, it's NOT acceptable:   [url=http://www.hasbro.com/games/adult-games/scrabble/home.cfm?page=dictionary/dict][color=#3165c6]http://www.hasbro.com/games/adult-games/scrabble/home.cfm?page=dictionary/dict[/color][/url] Please note: in this source the plural tense of a three letter word can often only be found by looking up the singular. ex: LIDS is only listed in source under LID.       6. On occasion players post simultaneously creating a double thread.  The game moves on from the FIRST new word to be posted.  Please take a second after posting to look back and make sure this has not happened to you.  If it has then edit and change your word to follow the word that was posted first.  That has been the unspoken "gentlemen's" rule of this game since day one and has helped to keep it a friendly game.

    [quote] Where did everybody go? Did they get bored? Or are they stumped?[/quote]   No, not stumped or bored.  I was out to the store buying items in advance of the snow storm coming on Sunday.
