I'll just repeat the rules from the start of the old thread:

Quote:
 
You can add, remove or change one letter at a time to form a new word.

Letters can change order or stay the same but a straight anagram is not allowed.

For example:

cared
bared
breed
deer
dear
rate
tamer

I'd be interested to know where you checked, Caro, 'cause I couldn't find stamined - or stamine or stamin - in any dictionary.

w4at, I just googled it and found it used in phrases like "long-stamined stocks" or something. The 'e' of stamen seems to change to an 'i' in some of its compounds. The google books site had a page from Encyclopædia Britannica: or, A dictionary of arts and sciences which I can't copy, but had it there.

Are you sure they weren't just quoting 18th century references, Caro?

Well, you'll probably complain that fuel-cap is two words, but today it is one, because I say so. I don't think stamined only came as an obsolete work, w4at - I think it seems to be used in horticultural terms still.
