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

Toolstrap is a tradename too, but is at least as much a word as uprootals is anyway.

What's wrong with uprootals? It's the plural of uprootal.

chare: an alternative spelling of char (as in charlady) according to Chambers, also "in the dialect of North-east England, a narrow medieval street or alley" - there's a pub in Newcastle called the Broad Chare, which seems a bit of an oxymoron.

(I checked 'chare' before I used it, w4at. Anyway some of the words you use are quite foreign to me. I haven't yet forgiven whatever word it is I haven't forgiven that I can't remember now, for good reason.)

I'm tempted by "titrates" but I think the 3rd "t" is definitely going to have to disappear as quickly as it arrived.

the only (pretty obscure) word I can come up with is:

nummary (of or relating to coins according to Collins)

that should get us out of a near dead end

You think? I thought of unmarry but decided it wasn't really a word.
