 All I can say is that it would have taken 3 steps to go from BROAD to BRAIN. Now it takes 4, but it's too early anyway. It will take 2 steps to go from BRAIN to BEAN. I takes many more to go from RAGS to RICHES.

EDIT: other proposition. What about whoever wants to participate gets back to brain on October 23 (Friday). Departing from READY, using the days needed to end up Friday. Coffeebean, if ever you pass by....?

Oh, I didn't realize you wanted to get back to brain; just thought it was ending on the 23rd.--sorry. Hmm--well, we've got the R and the A...aha:

OK. Departing from READY I come alongside with BREAD. I have the B the R and the A . It's an individual track now if that's alright with you (the formal or plural you). So Jackie,
in two words/two days you'd get from YEARN to BRAIN?
Anyone else going from READY to BRAIN these days?

But, but--Luke already posted BREAD, on the 13th. But we can go on from there as far as I'm concerned.

Oh- oho! Yes. I see. True, very true. Sorry Luke.
I thought that at the point where Wofu said READY it could be taken down the easiest way not regarding what had been before.
There is no specific system in the madness.
Then I take it from YEARN to BEARN today. Drop in what else could be the pre-last word, if you have it.

I would have waited till two-to-twelve to see if someone would turn up. THANKS ! you remembered and gave the bran or barn needed to come round to brain. I still leave it up to :  (Jee, I've been embroidering this badge all day) 10/23/08-10/23/09 BRAIN. If it hereby really ends depends. (?)

I do believe this is a first; for one thread to last this long, that is. I'll PM Ms. CB.

It might be on Wordsmith Talk, in general I guess not. But we got it ( with a little smuggling act; administrator ) down from that 11-letter word back to the starting point. Evaluating: I found 5-to-8-letter words the most interesting to play with. Like Wofahu said: too many letters freeze the game. I like the sort of parallel 'communication' that went on through the game. It was fun. I'm not to decide; maybe some people want to start another thread or continue on this one. It's been fun to me.

Let's think for a moment before we decide whether to start a BRAND-new thread or to continue this one.
In the past some have noted that with a dial-up connection it takes a very long time to load a long thread...perhaps too long.
Others have pre-emptively started a new thread whenever the instant one reached 500 posts.
Before we proceed, is there consensus? Should we take a poll?

A poll could show if 'regulars' are still interested. A technical motive for keeping the thread-length shorter counts. So a poll I guess....?? BRAND still the valid word?

You'll probably find that only applies in threaded mode.

I don't play much, but I'd vote for starting a (brand) new thread. (Nice one, wofa!)

I don't play much either, but a new game would interest me more.

I've played many too many but would vote for a new thread and a restriction on the maximum number of letters and posts. 200? I should play less (but wordgames are very tempting ..)I did like the circle, getting back to the starting word.
