years ago in one of those wordplay magazines they had a contest where you could choose any 6 letter word, and add a letter, change a letter, drop a letter, over and over, and the person with the longest connected link would win. If I recall, the winner was one of those annoying people who made maybe 4200 connections... I wonder if there's any other language where you can do something like that (or this) so fluently...

ReplyDeleteThat's one way to get there. Nice, changing one letter to form other words. Wordplay is always fun.

Try saying that three times fast!
ReplyDeleteYou've got me wondering what does more than blunt look like. :-)
ReplyDeleteGood point, Susiee, (sorry about that), I guess 'blunt/blunter/bluntest" is like the reverse of "sharp/sharper/sharpest"
DeleteIf you have three blunt pencils almost certainly one will be blunter than the others.
