Bloody Quiet, Innit?

[EEPhil]

And just to please BH, I can see five moves (probably a lot more) after:

Castle ... (and, as I'm from up t'north, I remove the 'r' from the pronunciation as well)

 

[prpr]

Tackles

 

[Andy Fox]

Slackest

 

[RobH1]

Shackles

 

[Black Hole]

Now that you have used the word I gave you a hint for, am I still an ass?

Did I not explain it adequately?

Shackles

Err...

 

[RobH1]

Oops! Doin' a Trev.

Back to Slackest

 

[Black Hole]

Castles

 

[Andy Fox]

Castes

 

[RobH1]

Casters

 

[prpr]

Tasers

 

[Andy Fox]

Artless

 

[RobH1]

Startles

 

[Trev]

Just been studying the rules.
Rule one contains a statement that is impossible to achieve.
"An anagram of all the letters in the previous word, plus or minus one letter;"
You cannot have a word that is an anagram of ALL the letters in the previous word that is shorter than the previous word. Pah!
Stupid game.

Rattles (BH's cage)

 

[Black Hole]

Looping for loopholes, huh?

 

[Andy Fox]

Starlets

 

[prpr]

Starlets

Invalid.

Rattles

 

[RobH1]

I know I'm suffering in the heat, but what's wrong with Starlets?

 

[Black Hole]

Well, it might have gone over people's heads, but Trev played RATTLES (slightly obscurely), so STARLETS is valid as a succession... unless it's validity as an English word is being challenged? prpr's RATTLES is not valid, because of repetition.

 

[prpr]

Well, it might have gone over people's heads, but Trev played RATTLES (slightly obscurely)

Oh, I missed that.
