Ja, I have and i do that intentionaly..with all due respect...any idiot can make up 5 words outta a word that has 7 or more letters...however ..bring it down to five, then the challange is on....... sorry...I was'nt calling you all idiots...I was making a point.....

[georg ruf jr.]

Do we have to change the rules, like less than 7 letters Michael.
To be honest, some of the words give me a hard time. But I'd find the idea okay.
How about the others??

[Teel]

Sounds good to me.  I reckon we're all smart enough to handle that!

[georg ruf jr.]

Here's one from Barb.
The rules:
1. First person puts up one word. (obviously has to be long enough...) This word should have less than 8 letters.
2. Second person makes 5 words with these letters.
3. Done. then t´he second person puts in a new word.
4. No shorts or abreviations.
5. The "given" word may only be used once.
6. The new word may not be taken out of the old word. eg: International -> nation This makes it a bit harder.

I'll take Barbs example...

The word:

standby

Please check the changed rule!
