Another word game

[dotti34]

The word games that people enjoyed and joined in with on AccyWeb seem to have disappeared now, or am I missing something? Is this because we have all become a bit addled? So I thought I’d start another one and hope members will have a go. The rules of this game (though can be made flexible if need be) are that keeping the same first and last letter as is but changing the order the letters in between are in (and not adding to or removing any of them) make a new word with an entirely different meaning.

Bring your brains out of isolation, blow the dust away – then have a go. Here are some examples to start with:

Dairy/diary; goal/gaol; bairn/brain; bran/barn.

Brilliant, Dotti. Can I take it on to use in another Facebook group I am on ?

 

[dotti34]

Bob, thank you for thinking this worth doing, hope others feel the same. You can use it wherever you like - but do please have a go on here as well.

Not quite sure how the rules to this have changed. Originally it was 'keeping the first and last letters as is' (which wasn't easy). Help!
