This thread seems to have lost its rules and I think it advisable to repeat them on every page to prevent them being forgotten:-

This is a word game with up to a hundred words displayed at a time, each slightly different from the previous one. To prevent the game forcing the column becoming wider than the software can handle, each word is separated from its neighbour by a space, then another symbol, as follows:

# one letter altered
- one letter removed
+ one letter added
@ anagram, and if all else fails
= synonym - but only if no member has posted in the thread for 12 hours.
Do not answer your own post within 12 hours. Give someone else a chance! After 12 hours you should answer, just to prove that you are not holding up the game by entering something unanswerable.
Do not repeat a previous entry, unless you think the immediate past answer is unanswerable, in which case you can reverse it by substituting a better one. However if the next player can find a legal answer, s/he may ignore this and carry on from before it.
dictionary.com is the standard work of reference for this game.

No, the problem arose when Cathy omitted my "besot," and added two other words. Anyhow, it is now solved and we can carry on just having fun

Dear Cummerbund, If you look back a few entries, I think the problem came when you submitted an entry at the same time as me.

regards,
Patrick & Cathy
You posted right after Patrick and did not check as usual, but I see you have replaced everything to fit your line, we do not need the directions just you to check your work after you post! True Stuff!!!!
