Sorry, but both fifo and offic are abbreviations, and we're looking for whole words.

Please continue from OFF.

The rules don't explicitly preclude abbreviations.

One entry found for FIFO.


Main Entry: FIFO
Function: abbreviation
first in, first out

Rules:

1. INSERT a new letter into the previous word, in any position, to form a new word.
2. or INSERT a new letter into the previous word, and REARRANGE all the letters to form a new word.
3. The purpose of each Game is to create the LONGEST word possible.


--

One entry found for abbreviation.


Main Entry: ab·bre·vi·a·tion
Pronunciation: &-"brE-vE-'A-sh&n
Function: noun
1 : the act or result of abbreviating : ABRIDGMENT
2 : a shortened form of a written word or phrase used in place of the whole <amt is an abbreviation for amount>

an abbreviation appears not to be a word as required by the rules, however Mac11 can make the decision and if nessesary ammend the rules.

This is a fun game and thanks go to Mac11 for keeping in going.
