Okay, I love to do the word jumbles in the newspaper and now my local news station also posts a word jumble daily.  I love word games and games that involve strategy and concentration. 

Here's how we're going to play: I will give a word and the person following me needs to make another word out of the previous word.  You don't need to use all of the letters because sometimes it won't be possible but the catch is this: your new word must begin with the last letter of the previous word.

After you have made your word you get to post a new word with a whole new arrangement of letters and the person following you will make a word and post a new word that begins with the last letter of the previous word.

 Example: I post the word ornament.  The next poster might post torn.    That poster then gets to start a new word like nutcracker and the next word would be react and so forth.  So all you really have to do is play off the last word and your word begins with last letter.

Let the games begin!

Uhhh...your new word has to start with the letter "t"--last letter in the previous word.

I'll start it again until we get the hang of it.  The new word is

Thanksgiving.

In response to vivasuzi's post from December 08 2008 08:40AM

The "new" NEXT word has to begin with the last letter of the word you formed from the previous word.  So if you formed EAT out of ATTITUDE your next word could be anything that began with the letter T since that was the last letter in EAT.

Got it?  I hope so because I love word games and I don't want anyone to be frustrated if we go in and "fix" their answer.  It's no biggee though.  We see it, we fix it and we move on :+)  Don't we wish everything in life was that easy?

You got it and believe it or not, that was going to be my R word but then some how the word remonstrate came to mind.  I sometimes try the larger words to give someone a greater chance of pulling another word out.  Thanks for playing and come back, puhleez ;+)

Back to the game:

From RIGHTEOUS comes SOUR

New word is REVELATION
