Thursday Thirteen - Let's play!

After one too many serious TTs, I thought we should play a little scrabble. Here’s how:

1. Create a word from the previous word by changing only one letter.

2. No foreign words or letters. Don’t add a letter unless indicated.

3. You may choose from any length 1-13, but you must create the word from the previous word.

4. Put your word in the comments.

5. I’ll put your word and a link to your blog in the comments.

Easy Peasy right? Here’s the starter words:

1. One letter word: A

2. Two letter word: To

3. Three letter word: Fat

4. Four letter word: Take

5. Five letter word: State

6. Six letter word: Success

7. Seven letter word: Fearless

8. Eight letter word: (any of above words) + additional letters

9. Nine letter word: (any of above words) + additional letters

10. Ten letter word: (any of above words) + additional letters

11. Eleven letter word: (any of above words) + additional letters

12. Twelve letter word: (any of above words) + additional letters

13. Thirteen letter word: (any of above words) + additional letters

14. Fourteen letter word (just for Sarah and Cajun Vegan! and Nic, of course.)

Good luck! Leave your word in the comments and I’ll post them fast as I can!

    Can’t figure out a 12 letter word, but here are a few others….
    Mistakenly – 9 letters
    Fearlessly – 10 letters
    successfully- 11 letters
    Unsuccessfully – 13 letters

    Love scrabble, do you play?

    How about Matinees for the 9 letter?

    oops. I just recounted. Scratch that one.

    Try testaments for the new 10. This is harder than it looks.

    Oh, man. I’m beat and you want me to THINK????

    I’ll put the Tour Manager on it. He’s more alert than I am. And he kicks my butt at Scrabble.

    Im sorry…Im retarded. I cant do anything that instructs me by reading something. Im totally visual….Happy TT anyway:)

  13. Michelle 9 July 2008 at 9:27 pm Permalink

    What a fun game but I don’t think I’m very good at this. Great TT!

  14. Carol 9 July 2008 at 9:51 pm Permalink

    I’m not sure if I’m doing this right, but…

    For #10 does succession work?

    For #12, does fearlessness work?

    For #12, can I play off Jill’s work and do Mysteriously?

    Man, I do not know the rules to this. I hope I didn’t mess it all up.

    Fun 13, though!

    Understatement …

    This TT is seriously making my brain cells grow.

    I hope this is close to what you wanted.

    Come on over and read about my OCD.

    Too hard without breakfast and my cuppa black tea. But I do love Scrabble and have a whole Scrabble blog category http://www.looseleafnotes.com/notes/scrabble/

    I have the most intense studious look on my face.

    I’m taking the weenie way out — three letter word… fat to fit.

    Does that count?

  25. Tempest Knight 10 July 2008 at 9:23 am Permalink

    I suck at scrabble! *LOL*

  26. Toni 10 July 2008 at 10:25 am Permalink

    I think I could stare at this forever, now I am lost in other’s comments.

    unsuccessful – I don’t think that has been used but not sure if it fits in the rules either…

    I have to go stare some more!

    Great game!

    You know I had to be a rule breaker with the 14-letter word. Rebel! Rebel!

    Thanks for humoring me.

  30. Celticlibrarian 10 July 2008 at 1:05 pm Permalink

    Two letters:
    Ta

    (Which means “goodbye” in American, and “thanks” in British, apparently.)

  31. Vixen 10 July 2008 at 4:45 pm Permalink

    Funnest TT ever!!

    How about fathomless and topography for 10 letters!

  32. Nicole Austin 10 July 2008 at 6:45 pm Permalink

    Oh this a a great idea!

    How about 14 letters – successfulness

  33. storyteller 11 July 2008 at 7:10 pm Permalink

    I did vote for you the other day! Good luck ;–) This is a very fun idea ? but definitely something I need to come across in the morning when my mind isn?t mush (and I?m not rushing to get out of the house) as it is this afternoon. Sorry to be absent from T-13ing lately, but ?life? is keeping me otherwise occupied. I barely get my posts up and play catch up on blog visits in spare moments now & again. Hope all?s well with you and yours.
    Hugs and blessings,
