Default Travel scrabble.

This is a part of an e-mail I received from a friend in the Madison, WI area.

It is about a game of travel scrabble which began in Halifax, Canada on October 24, 2011.

The point of the game is to add an English word to this list using the last word in this list as a builder. You can remove one of any of the 4 letters. Pat in Madison, WI added cart to the list; I then changed the "t" to "d" and made card.

I assume that you need to come up with a word that is not already on the list.

How do you remove one letter from "born" and get "curd"?

If you get stuck would be my guess.

That happened a few times in the massive e-mail I got that hopped around Canada, Europe and the U.S. Some people got stuck so they threw in a new word.

Some of the words I am not sure about but English in the U.K. is a very different animal than the one in the U.S.

Default Corn.

We could start with corn???

It comes if you remove a letter and add one from born. And we could eventually get to curd.
