Not a bad day here so far, hopefully it'll last until the weekend when I can have a chance to enjoy it.

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!

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.

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?

I've been caught out before by going down a path that has no result and having to back pedal.

Anyway, after checking the rules of word eligibility I can get a bit nearer.

The original rule said that the Oxford English dictionary was to be used to arbitrate any suspect word, so if it's in there it's OK (like Bligh was!)
And Leigh is in there, but as a name with Vivien Leigh, the actress.

I've always been interested in the written word, read and travell a lot and I do a lot of crosswords.
Usually though, it's a case of writing down the letters, changing one, sorting them into something that looks like it's pronounceable then checking to see if it's an actual word or not

Same here but it wouldn't fit
Luckily a shortened version is also valid.

Really? You've lived a sheltered life
Target: Prune
Nupes>>> PRUNE
New target: Dizzy (That should be fun!)
Sadly I have to refer you back to the first post of the thread:
As this version will likely be harder at times to reach the target there is one additional rule to limit the difficulty - any target word can never contain more than one , if any, of "Z ", "X", "Q" or "J".
.... but since Keith has since abandoned us, I'm willing to give it a try if you are

Sorry Neil, DIZZY is the target, you have to start from PRUNE.
So Prune >>> Prude for example.

Sorry for breaking the rules,but let's press on.....
Can we have a definition for "Rizen" please, I can't find it.
Sorry Neil, but all the intermediate words have got to be real words in their own right..

It was a (not very good) horror film from last year.
I agree though, it would be better to have more 'normal' words. No offence Neil.
