Hi Jeff,
Technically, you started it (No offence taken, no offence intended)
I may be biased but I think the first post should apply rather than one set by a poster who thinks it's too hard and wants his own easier word

Re: Change a Letter - 5 letter words
Right then, we'll go with Livid. But can I just point out that I've reached an age now where I can say pretty much what I like and just be considered to be getting a bit eccentric....

Re: Change a Letter - 5 letter words
Good choice
"Eccentric"? That's the equivalent of unsane isn't it?
As far as I'm concerned Jeff, you can say what you like, I'm pretty thick skinned and don't take all this seriously.

Wives Lives (pretty straightforward after all, don't know what Keith was so afraid of?!)

But eccentric sounds a lot better than insane... not that I've ever been considered to be particularly normal (in a humorous sort of way, I add)Woodles wrote: ↑Fri Mar 23, 2018 10:28 amGood choice

PS. I was going to wait until Hgblade (sorry don't know proper name) had taken his turn but I couldn't resist responding to your comment.
We could let him have the glory of solving this one I suppose.....
Re: Change a Letter - 5 letter words
Good for you (in both cases) normality is grossly over rated.
Hgblade is 'Keith' and I'm 'Mark' (although I think you know that)
That's alright, even if someone else solved it he'd try and claim credit for it

Fair enough, the next target is usually the first thing that comes to mind when the last one is finished so they tend to follow a pattern.

What? Does it mean something with rind on, like bacon? Or something more exotic?

PS. Just checked rindy, so basically it's the opposite of rindless, so it does make sense.
Re: Change a Letter - 5 letter words
Exactly right, it sounded more like a slang word than a 'proper' word but was in the dictionary.

Re: Change a Letter - 5 letter words
The one I had in mind was "Nould".
I tend to work through each word until I have a solution (or two) from start to finish, that way subsequent steps are easier .... as long as everyone else follows the script!

Re: Change a Letter - 5 letter words
I got "nould" too but I can't find a dictionary that'll accept it. If you have a definition I'll go ahead and use it.
Re: Change a Letter - 5 letter words
Merriam-Webster have got it - https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/nould
as has Collins - https://www.collinsdictionary.com/dicti ... lish/nould
Granted, it's not in the Oxford dictionary but I'll accept if if you will

It would be if I had anyway of contacting him. PMs seem pointless since he hasn't checked here for a bout a month and he stopped crunching on Boinc a while back so project PMs wouldn't work either. Maybe Tim has an email address?
