Eight letter words
Let's try to up the ante a little by solving eight letter puzzles.
Guidelines: The previous poster will leave a proven jumble of 8 letters, that when rearranged will form a word. For example:
Now, if Born_again actually used another word to form that anagram; such as STAKEOUT, then I think it would be fair for him to PM the respondent and award them with a GEEK
, which the respondent can collect. The respondents next post could look like this:
I hope this will be a fun challenge, and all commonly used English words should be acceptable, including common nouns. Maybe we could insist on a 'GEEK' demerit for spelling errors or fabrications? Let's see....

Haha, for some reason I was only thinking of the word as a proper noun, rather than a noun...

Yeah, I wasn't sure if I should solve it right away, or else give 50++ the benefit of the doubt and try to find another word for that one.......

Re: Eight letter words
I've done enough scribble to totally cover 3 A4 sheets of paper! If I substitute the 'A' with an 'O' I can get cobblers and clobbers. I don't think my Oxford dictionary has ever had this much abuse in its lifetime! Two vowels and two 'B's' are totally rupturing my brain cell. 50++ wrote:LESBIANS
