Words Ending Game - Game 1

[Mi-Amigo]

Welcome to

   WORDS ENDING GAME

Each game will feature three letters

The aim of the game is to find the number of 4 to 10 letter words in the list [in source used],

by adding 1 to 7 letters in front of the given three letters - to form 4 to 10 letter word.

   Today`s three letters are ______________O L D and the words in the list is 82 words.

Each word in the list will score 1 point.

Each word not in the list will score 1 point + 1 bonus point.

The game will run from 09.00am to 21.00 [9pm] to give those who are working or have commitments to join in at any time and take part after work or later; unless the game is solved sooner.

Please do not post until game starts at 9.00am.

At the end of the game, I will give the "league table" of players and their scores.

If game is not solved by 9.00pm I will also give words in the list which have not been found.

Note: During the game, I will stop the game in order to catch up with posts and to give Updates.

Please wait when asked to.

RULES

Each player may post two words in each post.

Player must wait until another player posts before posting again.

TEN MINUTE RULE - if no-one has posted for 10 mins, player may post again BUT if player posts BEFORE

10 mins then reply will be given but player will NOT receive points.

One [1] to seven [7] letters must be posted in front of given three [3] letters to form 4 to 10 letter word.

note - adding more than 7 letters to form word of more than 10 letters is not allowed.

Letters cannot be added after the given letters.

The order of the given letters cannot be changed.

Foreign words are not allowed.

Scottish words are allowed.

American words are allowed.

There will be no star for being faster finger and getting first word; and no trophy for sneaking in at the end and getting last word in the list.

Woohoo! Sorry for the early start, as could be seen from the photos, attendance on my part was interspersed with much puffing, panting and a fair bit of perspiration, up the narrow steep alleys of Altea, in Spain. Nice to be able to dip in now and then, as pauses for some refreshment or similar afforded. Interesting game, @Mi-Amigo - and not many words this time to trigger the bad-word filter 😉😬

Thank  you @Mi-Amigo 

Very well done everyone.

Really difficult to join in at a late stage: but really glad I did.

That game is great

[Cleoriff]

Well done everyone. Great game @Mi-Amigo. Wasn't sure at first whether I would like it but I did.

Look forward to the next one. 😊

Nyah... I missed the "after the last player" line in the WEG rules, I used the WHD guideline of not having two of my own posts adjacent to each other in any 10-min window, using the Quizmaster's update posts to break-up two close-together answers... Old habits D'oh!

So: Guilty as charged, yer'honour, and suitably chastised 😖

Sorry I missed out @Mi-Amigo. I’ll try to make it next time.
