Ah, grasshopper, to know the meaning of TROUTLING
You need not
TUTORING but an intuitive understanding of "fingerling"

Then drop your T and go motorboat

OK, I think rules should be DIVVIED amongst all of us.

Like what words we should include or exclude.

We could all deal with sticky situation by
employing two words. That's why our roolz
are
l) change a letter
2) add a letter
3) subtract a letter

(Any one of the three, although "change" could perhaps be considered a sequential add-and-then-subtract. But it's any - and only - one of the three.)

I am now DECLARING that a new rule must be used:

You must incorporate the word into a meaningful message. Some people haven't been doing that.

This is the NINTH set of Anagrams, which were started over
for various reasons like hitting a snag, or taking up too many
pages.
This game is just fine as it is. I don't know who started the
"talk" with each post, but I won't do it.
Josiah if you want to start a game of your own, you are
free to do so, we may, some of us, even join you now and again.
BUT I FOR ONE WILL NOT PARTICIPATE IN YOUR SINGLE-HANDED
DECLARATION THAT POSTERS HAVE TO USE THE WORD IN A SENTENCE.

I've been on this game for five years and it has been just
fine as it is. I don't even read your sentences and
other gibberish which is added to the post, just the word
which I then work on. Thanks but no thanks.
And the "Subject" space is plenty of room to place an opinion.

No need for such vehemence, Luke! Just do it the way you want to. If you don't care to add subtext, don't ! I take the "Declaration" as a trial balloon, not an Imposition. People will follow or not if they find the idea tempting, and give it up quickly if it's more trouble that it's worth. Meantime we all have the Big Three roolz to fall back on.

Thank you. I consider myself 'chastened'. And I deserve it.
I guess I am still stinging from the other thread where
I was adding more than one letter: my fault, I did not
understand the roolz of that one. I do understand the
roolz of this thread. And my take of "declare" is more
in line with Congress has the right to declare war. We
have different takes on the word. Thanks.
