Drop a T and RUSTLE up some new words Does one have to drop a letter? The letters "rustle" also spell LUSTER.

you should make one change (other than shuffle); e.g., add an F and get FLUSTER (otherwise you're just making anagrams)

R becomes N. - SNUFFLE
(Snuffles wasn't a bear exactly. He was a pseudo ursine. He was big and clumsy, and bounced around on four legs, and then on two. He was friendly, chillingly so, for he was huge. And he snuffled like some old track-eating train. R.A. lafferty.)

I could be wrong, but I can't come up with anything after WRONGEST.
Can anyone else? Does that mean FallibleFiend won the game!
I've never been around when we've arrived at a stalemate. Cool.
