Playing With Words

by skip2468 @ 30/03/06 – 08:59:59 pm

A different word can often be formed with all the same letters as another word eg. left/felt

Who can come up with some more ?

To set the ball rolling what about bar/bra

Take 2 points for each pair that you come up with - no repeats

Come back for as many turns as you wish

'The early bird catches the worm'- double points for the first 3 bloggers first comments regardless of the number of pairs!

Good Luck!

And a few more: calm/clam - mad/dam - rail/liar - shorn/horns - emit/time - pass/asps - clean/lance - listen/silent -slip/lips - won/now - lamb/balm - score/cores - lore/role - snub/buns - kiln/link - post/stop - sword/words - silver/sliver - send/dens - sleet/steel - Must be lots more?

  You are far too modest - a wonderful list - though I spell 'dum' as 'dumb' I must accept 'dum' as there are dum dum bullets! Also dum may be accepted as a sound eg. dum dum dum on my drum drum drum - any other meaning/s?
  
  20 points and a great start - Congratulations!

  Amazing! Another 12 points - you must have a great total by now - how do you find so many - what's the secret? please keep them rolling in - they are so interesting.
  
  I wonder if you could be the first to come up with a triple - a word that can be made into TWO other words using all the letters! How's that for a challenge? a/b/c lol

Not sure what you mean do you mean like target- art get ? because thats easier.

  Sorry to confuse you with my loose expression
  
  QUOTE
  
  a word that can be made into TWO other words using all the letters in the original word
  
  If the original word has 6 letter the other two must have the same 6 letter but of course in different order to form new words!
  
  Now - Is that easier? lol
  
  Still confused? Is so I take total blame lol
  
  Read my 'Believe It Or Not' yet? - or are you too tightly entangled in our word mode? lol
