"Your search for 'tortured' returned 1 results." (over the last 1 year in Wordplay and fun)

edit: i.e., the search turned up your post, only.

I can keep track, but I didn't do like tsuwm and cheat and all.... he he... they just looked all too familiar to me, and I looked back a couple of pages, and sure 'nuf, they were there. I don't have any recollection of "tortured", though. tsuwm confirms that... thanks! :0)

Indeed REDOUBLE is what I had in mind, but 'tis
not the only possibility so we're now working on
BOULEVARD.

Change A to I

How many Ts are there in "Levitttown"? Too much construction!

(Made my post, turned off the machine, never looked at what had been posted seven minutes earlier, never saw it until hours and hours later, as you noticed. Sorry; didn't mean to make you chopped liver wink )

OVERDID

changing R to A would have

AVOIDED the whole thing!
