PLUMPIER
positive, comparative, superlative: if that's possible with
this word, but it is closer to 'pumpkin'

I can get words, but it will eliminate one or another
needed for pumpkin. Now that may be OK as we might
be able to bring it back later.

I'm briefly stuck on Pick-me-up (did you know that'sTIRAMISU, in Italian!?)
Let's try ANYWHERE instead, and come back to pickmeup later if we get anywhere.

HEY BEXTER WELCOME BACK - LONG TIME NO SEE
Not that there is anything wrong, but sometimes the
words with only five letters get us going. We are trying to
keep them longer,but not so long as to be cumbersome. Five
letters get boring, that having been said:
E > T
TASTY
Sometimes we are just out of time and want to contributE like
me today, and/or we can find no way to continue, so it's really
no big deal, just thought I'd mention it, wofa and I were
discussing it a couple weeks back.
at any rate WELCOME BACK.

WELCOME RICKYLA
You can add, subtract or rearrange.
With regards to the addition and subtraction it is only
one letter at a time.
There are not too many of us on this thread, and a few months
back we decided that Proper words, like town names, are OK as
well. People's names, as well. Just go back thru the thread
and you'll get an idea.
And we decided not to go less than five letters too often
unless we are, like, in a hurry or something and just want
to contribute. No one will be upset, just that five letters
or below get boring.
And again - Welcome.

Actually the permitted steps are 1. add a letter, or 2. subtract a letter, or 3. CHANGE a letter. Yes, this is like doing 1 and 2 together, but that's the Rool, from the depths of antiquity. Adherence is negotiable. Rearranging is optional. Proper nouns aren't encouraged, but then they're not rejected either. Among the other "Table Rules" that have been acceptable is anagramming/rearranging without changing any letters, And it's always nice to have words that are "interesting" in some way. [Candy - did you set this one up for me deliberately?  } OUTPLAYSO-->P PLATYPUSP.S. Did you know...? I didn't !

PLATYPUS
P.S.....Did you know...? I didn't !
and did you read that the Platypus (well the male) has a poisonous claw which may be fatal to small animals but not humans, though its said to be very painful for as much as six months after a contact. They look such cute creatures in an 'Frankensteinish' sort of way! PLATYPUS Y....>N SUPPLANT
