Lonous, I'm not so sure that changing one letter and moving its position is legit, ...but I'm just gonna let it slide.

Point taken, looking the other way clearly invites a quick slide into barbarism and anarchy.

Instead, I will play off of my own previously listed valid word...

So now you're just going to do it all the time?

Have you unilaterally changed the rule to one or two adjacent consonants can be replaced by one or two adjacent consonants.
I mean really, do they even have to be adjacent, and can we f*ck around with vowels that way too??

We need to decide now. jus' is playing around with the very bedrock foundations of this thread, and if we don't immediately impose order it will devolve into utter chaos
...and then all will be lost!

The irony is if he had only played 'horn' before 'worn' everything would have been fine...

Anyway...

Is everyone okay with allowing dipthongs to stand in for one letter?

'thorn' would open the board quite a bit.

On the other hand, I could go Bjorn and then we're all in a corner.

I'll just go corn for now.

Sure you don't want to play 'platypus' or 'obfuscate' or something like that?

Look at the first and third post in this thread; obfuscation was there already.

anyway: There has been many examples of a change of rules; it has not ALWAYS been ONE letter. Read this thread beyond this page......such as the OP.

The actual OP rule is clear, ...but an erroneous example was given.

Did you see the example where he himself, who set the "Rules" and then added TWO letters and that conflicted with the Title and the rule? And did you look at other examples of such violations of this "rule"? And who has used BOLD here recently? Are all those non-bold ILLEGAL entries? You are opening a can of worms, VOT.

And with a 6 year hiatus, did the rules get reset?

Let's have FUN and avoid too many legalities and only call out the most egregious violations. Otherwise this fun thread may degenerate into a thread like a political one.
