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")

Really Weird Person

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

I've got one!

terrible = terrible

I swapped the two r's with each other. :D
And no, I'm not back, whatever the hell "back" means. :)

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

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

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.

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