Re: SCRABBLE anyone?
If you check out the first post you will see we have gone far astray!!!
Here it is!!!
Ok the game is on... Afternoon Scrabble - Keep it going!!!
Change one letter of the bottom word posted and let's see how far we can get!
Rules: You cannot add letters. You cannot use foreign languages. You can only change one letter.
Here is the first one:
TRAP
And so it started!
On 2/28/2009 the consensus was to add a 6th letter.
On 4/30/2009 the consensus was to add a 6th letter.
On 5/16/2010 someone got carried away and went from "smarts to straits" and away we went!!!

Re: SCRABBLE anyone?
Yeah...from 4 letters to 7 is tough enough!
Let's not go to 8 unless we have to.
