Different idea: An anagram of "use of Namaste", followed by a four-letter cop, which might be GAIN. (Yes, yes, I know that rebuke does not mean to buke again.)
Construct the longest chain you can by appending a new word based on the properties of its predecessor:
Same pronunciation but different spelling to the predecessor.
An anagram of its predecessor.
You may choose which rule to apply first, but thereafter you must alternate: you may not apply th...
@MOehm I had thought of that as well, but I couldn't come up with anything that would fit there either. I wondered if the solution might be actual words of rebuke (as opposed to a synonym for "rebuke").
I came across that word in an anagram solver and thought: Wait, that's an English word?, because Faultier means sloth, literally "lazy animal", in German. It took me a while that it's just the comparative of faulty and not an foreign word that had crept into English like aardvark.
So you talk about Gaultier with your son? I pondered making a somewhat more topical clue today along the lines of TIL UEFA's currupt, right?, but couldn't really make it work.
Not often - but kids his age bandy about the names of fashion designers at school at the moment... and I am SO PUMPED for the Euros starting imminently!
Should be a good party with the Scots. 26 years without a major tournament - they're here just to enjoy themselves, and they tend to do that pretty responsibly :)
Haha. I avoid the hotspots when going home from work, but I've seen plenty of them already. Radio news ask people to avoid the town square -- it's packed.
The hope here is to repeat the 2006 World Cup, where we didn't do so badly after all and where the atmosphere was good. I think most visitors enjoyed it, too.
But expectations are so high. 2006 can't be repeated, at least not by force. Solid defending from the Scots and one of the not-so-infrequent blunders from Manuel Neuer and the shaky nation's nerves will be laid bare. :)
Thanks. Haha, poor Harry - joined Bayern thinking he was guaranteed a trophy and for the first time in years they didn't get a thing! He's cursed! Let's hope he shakes it this month...
It may be good practice, but you're just moving the decision whether a word is valid or not further back. And homophones aren't as clear-cut as orthography, never mind what IPA says. (That's just my two cents. I won't fight your decision to demand a wordlist or dictionary. I'm bad at homophones anyway, IPA, Shm-IPA.)
