2012 Game

In 2011 the game was WhereAmI? - in 2012 we're not going to make you remember a different login / password to post a picture. And it's also a game where two players can go 'head to head' and submit answers simultaneously, if they want. 

Adapted from an 'email travel scrabble' game by KilroyofAus, it was intended that once a person posts a Clue for their word, that's the end of their input for that word. They neither approve nor disapprove of the next player's answer.     Makes it faster, so fast, in fact, that the game can be played in ...real time... by any two or more GOT members logged on at the same time, if they have a mind to.

To start with:

1/   The Number of Letters in the word.             I have plumped for Five ( 5 )  letters, A bit of experiment showed Six was too many ( too few words of six letters)  and Four was just plain ridiculous.

And for later consideration if the straight-out game is too easy,  or too hard ....

2/   Anagrams.    Certainly one letter is to be changed for another,  but nothing was said about RE-ARRANGING  the letters
 eg from     TOAST    change T to C to make    COAST,  that's fine,      But what about   changing   COAST  to   TACOS either as a separate move, or integrated in the change from TOAST?

To Goodoldtalk

The 2012 game, although fun is rather simplistic. How about as you suggested, we can re-arrange the letters while changing only one. May make us think a bit harder!

Yes - but in a different forum topic

Hello all! I've made an executive decision and created a new Forum Topic for those who want to be part of a second 2012 game - similar, but where you rearrange the letters as well as change one, each time.
