Note to Grampy:
This is the song that doesn't end..
It just goes on and on, my friend
Changing from five-letter words to six-letter words only made the game easier.. more letters to choose from.. more spaces for vowels.
Ad infinitum

words where we began, retaining the elimination of the vowel 'A'. My sense is we should... and will Monday (3/10/08) if no objections.

(2) Return to five letters and restore "a" to the stockpile. When you drop a letter and replace it with another, that new letter must remain for at least one turn. No repeats. Avoid using steroids.

1. NOW RETURNING TO 5-LETTER WORDS
(Where the chain began).
2. ENTIRE ALPHABET IS IN PLAY
('A' is no longer eliminated).
3. PREVIOUS LETTER ADDED MUST APPEAR IN YOUR NEW WORD
(To increase the challenge).
We'll look at tweaking the chain rules, again, if necessary at link 701.
Thanks to everybody for keeping this RHP Guiness Book bid alive!
