Game: Conservation

Really Weird Person · January 31, 2008, 12:57:07

Are you ready for a challenge? Here is a game that I thought up! Try to take a word and spell it differently while conserving the letters and the sound!

Examples:
[list=1]

One that you have probably seen before: Firey = Fiery
One that you probably have not seen before or as much if you have seen it: Daisy = Daysi
[/list:o]

Do you get the idea now?

So... Just one word at a time? Or lots at once? And I assume they don't have to be "correct" alternate spellings...

'Cos I've got:

Sample => Sampel
Temple => Tempel (and so on for "le" => "el")

I hadn't thought of those! Good job, keep 'em coming!

Or how about this? Cabel

I've got one!

terrible = terrible

I swapped the two r's with each other.

Doing it with a doubled letter, eh? Interesting, but how about terribel (using the same switch the last two letters idea)?

2 Novus
Brilliant !

I wonder who Louigi is. Is that a distant cousin to Luigi? Let's see here...Moario, um, nope that did not work.

Hmm... As a bit of a shake-up, what about rearranging letters of words and phrases to form new ones?

There's the classic "Mother-in-law ==> Woman Hitler"...

To make it easier, though, I think you should be able to drop letters.

So "Really Weird Person ==> Player wins eel" (With R, D, R and O left over)

OK, but back to the OT... Patent => Paetnt

Actually, I am unlike other people in this forum and do not care so much for the "rules" parts, so go ahead!

Sam_Zen · February 05, 2008, 03:25:12

Whether you care or not, you've set the conditions as a rule to start with :
"spell it differently while conserving the letters and the sound"
so you're the one who should 'expand' the rules or not.

how obvious is it? weird = wierd! :lol:

Really Weird Person · February 05, 2008, 23:59:21

Especially when a lot of people probably do not even know how to spell weird anyway :lol:!
