NESTLE
This appeared five turns back, in Anagram V. Is this permitted as it is now a "new" round? or does the fact that we have taken the lsat word from An. V mean that it is a continuation?
I'm not really worried one way or the other, except that I am tempted to get us into a permanent loop by giving - +I - TENSILE !!
I to Y
TENSELY A new vowel may help to avoid loops.
No, repeats aren't permitted. My bad. But I fear they are inevitable...

Probably opened up an email (Herculean) and built from there
without going to the next page which had already been
built on. I do that frequently. Take it from wherever
you want. My bad, accept apologies please.

Old age creeping up on you Wofa
can I help it if you post and then delete>> the word I followed was yours 'how to get where you're going' (from INTEREST) T > G
STEERING
I got the email from AWAD which said what you have posted
here, Wofa, but it was deleted from the thread - it was
not there. So I posted "Steering" but not the "G".
Weird, something on the site. I thought maybe everybody
got it but me, and I wanted the word included with the G.
I don't remember who it said added the "G" but someone
actually did, my emails showed it, but it did not show
up in the thread.
Not to belabor the point, but the list of consecutive words on my screen is
...
REINSTATE
INTERSECT
INTEREST
RETICENT
STEREOING
STEERING
RESTING
VESTING
...
It was "stereoing" that perplexed me.
Steering does follow "interest" as much as it follows "stereoing."
My display is flat, not threaded. Maybe in Threaded Mode, INTEREST and RETICENT and STEREOING and STEERING are in a different order? In Flat Mode they are as above.
FWIW.
In any case:

Yup: about 45 minutes here: guess I backed us into a hole.
You could be right, Luke
The best I can come up with is
INTERLARDED
DE-ENTRAILED
a) I don't think it's a real word
b) I'm not sure if hyphens are permitted in this game
c) It uses the same letters, so doesn't really help!
I don't know what the complete 'roolz' for this thread are.
I do know it's
-subtract or add or change a letter. One at a time.
We've had a couple times where a poster used two words
and we let it pass: they were sort of new to the site.
Like you say, same letters.
We can wait for Wofa: he is sort of the high mucky muck of
this thread, and then either go back a few spaces or start
a new one. We've done both in the past.
I would vote for declaring you the winner of this round and letting you start off the next one!
I did not know this thread was a contest. But I
am so honored. That makes me a ringer for
a high one like a sine-qua-non. But I'll get
a big head if you continue to so flatter me.
Well, I didn't know until today that it was a contest. But if it was, then surely painting everyone into a corner might well be a way of deciding the outcome?
It's too easy to create or force a dead end, and we've generally tried to avoid it by mutual agreement.
It isn't really a competition or a winner - some words are obvious, and some are clever, and some are silly, and some are obscure, and some are dubious, and the Roolz of what's permitted are often waived for the sake of continuity. And amity. What's usually insisted on is the add-delete-or-change-one-and-only-one-letter rule. And even there we've been known to overlook variations.
It's so tantalizing - with all those common letters, it feels that there ought to be a continuation nearby that we just haven't found (or created) yet. (Too many letters can get unwieldy!) But if everyone is frustrated, we might just as well restart with new letters.
I s'pose I'll invoke Seniority and say - start again:
TAURUS
(And if we can come up with a continuation for INTERLARDED we can always re-resume from there!)
D'accorde.
May I suggest that we start a new thread as well? This one is quite long.
OK...Rhuby, your wish is my Command!
Link to Anagram VII That way if someone finds next word they can come here to post it.
By the way...did anyone see the end coming....I was shocked...it had been so easy up to the last word!
INTERLARDED
D to E INTERDEALER
Not bad Bran...but does it allow the game to continue??
We all more or less went to a new thread.
While this may keep this thread open, I for one, am
not coming back to it.
(And if we can come up with a continuation for INTERLARDED we can always re-resume from there!)
Da Boss says Yep, we gotta can do it.
Is this a lot of bull or what?
"It isn't brains, because you-know-why, Rabbit," said Pooh, "but it comes to me sometimes."
And Rabbit, who never let things come to him but always went and fetched them, said "Aah," knowingly.
"It's a poor sort of memory that only works backwards".
Lewis Carroll
That way if someone finds next word they can come here to post it.By the way...did anyone see the end coming....
That's what I did and for the rest you just do as you please. I like it better when a word gives some resistance, when there is some challenge in it. Never mind. Have your fun.
