..or your patience. I wish I had gone with DEVIATION above, instead of INVOCATED.

I've come up with 8 variations emanating from DEVALUATION (besides the obvious D --> R, that may not move us farther anyway) ... but all involve two-step maneuvers:

ADULATION ANTEDILUVIAN DEFALCATION DEVOLUTION DEVOTIONAL
INVALIDATE VALIDATION VALEDICTION ...

hope someone else is faring better ... ?????????

Hmm...maybe I don't get this game, Endy.
Are you saying that you won't use
DEVALUATION D to R because

REVALUATION might be to difficult for others?

Or are you trying to preclude others from using it? confused

I logged in a couple of times; first, seemed normal except for a couple of crazy posts (from xyz...123etc???) about Oakley gibberish. Later, tho', there were about a hundred posts between the links for Wordplay & Anagrams IX ... seemed to be the same subject but without reference to the sender (the x-y-z #'s from China that I'd seen earlier)... so, paging thru them to try to find Ana/IX took forever ...

Seems as if it's back to normal now, so let's hope it stays that way ...Thanks, Luke!

see the announcement today under notes and
announcements. Anu has cleaned up the site and
requiring approval before xyzzzz654321 can join
again. There were over 1000 posts by him/her/them
yesterday. Took me a long time to delete them.
400+ the day before. Should be a while before
we see advs for Oakley sunglasses again.
