Wow that’s astonishing! Whoever would have thought so many would come from so few, ie just one ordinary little word.
Have stolen the idea for my Gc. Thanks.

I had a class of schoolchildren who managed to make 80 words out of caterpillar.

Some of you have found words they didn't, thanks.

Practically any long word can be used to play this game.

It's one of the oldest word games in the book. Personally I like to play it using shorter words - long words just result in endless lists of words, pages and pages of them, especially if 3 letters are permitted. I prefer a bit of a challenge

A good one for schoolchildren is the old name for Istanbul - Constantinople.

Anyone want to start another long word. Any suggestions. Over to you.
