You know what else is hard to navigate? A raft, floating on the ocean.

Re: Change a letter change the World
How did you end up on a raft? Was your ship flouting standard safety regulations
Edit: Enq might be pleased to know that it's possible to get rid of the ing in just 3 words and just drop a letter each round all the way down to 3 letters if people want to.

Re: Change a letter change the World
Perhaps the sailors spent too much time on fluting and other music making rather than essential maintenance?

Re: Change a letter change the World
They couldn't have been floating, they were too busy flyting with each other.

Well, now we're just flying towards a world without a suffix. (I always forget about flyting. Such a good word.)

You know what? I'm going to throw another letter away. Or, in another word:
Fling

Re: Change a letter change the World
Soon we can sling ourselves out of this...

Curious how we were gonna get out in three steps from flouting.

Maybe it involved resorting to slang?

Re: Change a letter change the World
Slang contains many excellent words, especially if you want to slag someone off.

Why would I want to do that when I could ride off on a stag?

Re: Change a letter change the World
Are you riding off so fast because you're playing tag with someone.

No, I have to hurry cause I'm chased by an evil hag. (Someone please help me!)

Re: Change a letter change the World
How are you talking through your gag?

Re: Change a letter change the World
Because it's not a proper one? It's just a rag.

Only to rant.

Re: Change a letter change the World
Given I was talking about tag before, it's safe to say I ran.

Why run when you can walk?

Re: Change a letter change the World
Especially if you need a cane to do so

Wow, I didn't know that one, and I consider myself to be pretty knowledgeable about obscure words. I guess I should probably rerate myself on that count.

Will you feel better if I tell you that I can absolutely relate to this?

Re: Change a letter change the World
If you took a course or learning obscure words, you may be able to get a rebate.

Re: Change a letter change the World
Although that may be up for debate, since there are so many obscure words that it would be a long course indeed that would aim to teach all of them.

Re: Change a letter change the World
