This looks a suitable game in which to introduce an intelligent refinement to the original rule of the thread starter: the one and only Spadie.

It is that a short explanation is provided with each entry of a connection between the seed word and the fruit word. Just taking any three letters out of six and using them in another six letter word for no particular reason is a task well with the competence of most 7 year olds. In other word games I usually only play when I have a solution which connects to the problem.

For example--I chose "guests" because if a person of delicacy and sensibility invites one to an eating then one is assuredly a guest.

As only eager aficionados of these methods of wasting time pleasantly, and one might say less devastatingly to Mother Earth than most ways of wasting time, enter such threads as these I feel sure that they would wish to feel themselves engaged in an activity above the level of junior school children.

This suggestion, if adopted by the sort of generous and tolerant natures which gravitate towards Trivia, allows for an exercise of wit and for an explanation of jokes, moral points and the like which might not be immediately apparent to all gamesters.

Here are some harder ones, if you want to up the antes...

@XXSpadeMasterXX,
The first two are too easy, the third I have had a go at, and the fourth is plain daft.

I'm not trying to up the ante. I'm trying to improve the game for entertainment purposes. Intelligent people don't want to read people just trying to be clever. They want wit. They want a laugh. Or at least a little epiphany of some sort.

They don't want to find themselves on threads where po-faced twits are taking 3 letters from a 6 letter word and using them in another 6 letter word just randomly and for no particular reason.

Why do you think Spade that directing me to four other threads is relevant to the post of mine you quoted?

Because you said, a 7 year old, could do this...So I posted at least 2, that are harder than this thread...Because 7 letter words, and reuse 4 letters, is challenging...

And the random question, is not daft, if you answer the question, and pose a difficult one...

Make a new thread, where we can do this, but have to associate the next word...I will play...

What does "harder" mean when I'm talking about exercises of wit and not just adhering to infantile rules? Any plonker can produce a 6 letter word from 3 letters of another 6 letter word. That's a simple as Snap.

I chose this game to offer my suggestion because it is more adapted to witty responses than some others I play on but I do my best with them when I can.

Are you not up for the entertainment of A2Kers?

Do something interesting with "treads". Deaths, for example. We tread the road to that all our lives. That's mordant wit. "Stairs" have treads. That's pedantic wit. "Tramps" tread the highways. "Actors"tread the boards. "Boards" are what they tread on. How many 6 letter words are there that are okay with "treads" with your line of thinking? I bet you think Scrabble is clever. It's a game that allows thick people to delude themselves that they are good with words. That's why it's popular. Everything that allows people to delude themselves that they are better than they are is popular. Such things presaged the decline of the Roman Empire and accompanied it into being sacked.

See how much you are learning Spade?

@spendius,
I thought I would check out the first page Spade and I found you claiming the "radium" was tough

How about "Curies". Mr And Mrs Curie--geddit? Eh?

Sheesh!! If you find that tough don't try biting through your straps.

treads is the word.

That's what you get when you mess with Captain Radium.

Are you still saying he's not tough?

@izzythepush,
I was saying that "radium" is a piece of piss on Spade's rules.

Why won't you attempt "treads"? "Wreath" say--people who lay wreaths tread rather than skip.

I single-handedly forced the Acronym game into adult mode.

@izzythepush,
But how does treads connect to squirt?

I know. You tread on a slug and it squirts.

risque. Some squirts are a bit risque.
