Make a new word by changing, adding or subtracting a letter, without altering the letter order (the new letter doesn't have to go at the beginningor end, it can be anywhere.)

Am I being a bit thick but I can't get the hang of this game ?

Loopylou how can Ancestors and Tolerance be related ? I have had a very hectic weekend so I may not be thinking clearly. smile

Nankate - not thick at all. We've all had a few blips. The words don't have to be related. We have to make a different word by dropping a letter or adding one. Sometimes it has to be both. We no longer do what the original post says, I.e. Keeping same letter order as that could lead to a quick stalemate. Hope I've explained it ok?

No, Loopy, you haven't mucked it up, you've just changed two letters and I think that's allowed now!
