WORD MORPH II

Okay - this is the one we've been ironing out in the Members Area

Same rules as word morph, BUT!

Add, remove, or change 2 (TWO!) letters or less. Switch positions of up to two pairs of letters

EXTRA POINTS for:
ERASING a word
SPLITTING (spawning a new) word(s)
SPLITTING a word must result in each word having AT LEAST 3 letters
*Otherwise it would be too simple

A position switch counts as a single move. We can do 2 moves. We cannot do everything listed above to both letters, each change is a single move out of two possible.

Suppose I have the word "Barber" to deal with. I can split it (doesn't count as a move), and add an "E" to "BER", so it reads "BAR BEER"

~To split a word is NOT a move, out of your two moves. If it can be done, it's a bonus move. Likewise combining a set of words is a benny
~The words do not have to read as a sentence, or even be related

B and R removed from BAR could set it up to be ERASED in one move by taking down the "A" -
Or it could be changed to BAN, the B dropped in a turn, and it would take two moves to erase it by taking the A and the N away.
Obviously we can also rip letters from a word to add to the other

WHATEVER IS LEFT MUST BE A REAL WORD OR WORDS in some known language

If a third word is created - it wins the round.
If all words are erased - it wins the round
If a word(s) is spelled wrong or does not exist, it loses the round

You MAY NOT answer your own last post, that would open the doors to setting up your own final solution (plus it would be spam, which is not allowed. Thus we don't do that...)
*as far as anyone knows

Suggestions welcome at any time.


First word:

TRUCKS

So, if I understand this correctly (reading those rules aggravated my migraine LOL)

I should be able to take TRUCKS - erase the "C" and switch the position of the "R" and "U" to create:

TURKS (yes? no? maybe?)

BINGO-AMONDO!

(and sorry about the head, I can relate)

TURKISH

(adding an I and an H)

*I wonder if it should be a rule, or just a courtesy to explain our moves? It does seem stylish, also simpler to understand what happened. I think it should be optional though
(so not to spoil strategy)

TURFS FISH

~gettin' down to da street level...
You know the seperator here is who thinks beyond the next change - like chess

"Am I going to hand you a cool move?"


"NOT IF I CAN HELP IT..."

IF YOU BUST ME ON THIS, YOU GOT ME

You also dropped an S - I think you went over the 2 move limit...

(where did the G come from?)

"a real word or words in some known language" eh? OK...

CAILLEACH

(it's a Scottish Gaelic word for an old woman, a hag, or a particular ancient goddess.)
Don't ask me to pronounce it...


*Hehe - well, if you're gonna break your own rulezzz...

OK, if "SUIVEE" means you've got nothing, then I propose

SAIL BEACH

(Split and changed 2 letters )

The NFL would be proud to have rules such as these.

Cripezzz - I give.

Does that satisfy anyone?

DINT think so

But any word is real for a start point.

If we can't deal, I guess we're not smart enough


ONE START WORD ONLY!

~not two


PICK one...

WAITAMINNIT!
Did he make that point?

Don't know what "SUIVEE" means - Google doesn't seem to think it's a word...
