Seeing as you love word games, here's a great game thought up by me five minutes ago.

It works as thus:
You're given a letter by the person above you. You must write a sentence of at least ten words without using that letter. More daring people might want to write at least ten sentences, but we won't go that far.

If you give a letter, only give one or you'll make it too hard.

Ready?

L

Posted by: Jerry Aug 26 2004, 08:15 PM

"I do hope I am ready for tonight's big event"

Is that okay?

and is "I" considered a word?

Posted by: QuickHare Aug 26 2004, 08:16 PM

That's fine. Just remember to give a letter for the next person...
It's more a "see how it goes" thing, this.

Posted by: Jerry Aug 26 2004, 08:20 PM

Okay, thanx for clarifying.

Next letter:

E

Say, how about going fishing tomorrow down at our local marina?

So if lessons are learnt, does that indicate personal growth?

Clever, Yoda. Using my mistake as a sentence

"Now I can't fix it, otherwise our posts will look weird!"

I

Posted by: QuickHare Aug 27 2004, 02:11 PM

How about we try to make each sentence form a normal chat?

O

Posted by: Jerry Aug 27 2004, 02:49 PM

That is a very clever idea; I think I'll try that.

D

Posted by: QuickHare Aug 27 2004, 07:52 PM

Just for fun, I think I'll put two letters for omission in the next puzzle. That way, it'll be less easy.

B and R

Posted by: hockeygod Aug 27 2004, 07:54 PM

That was not nice my pal that we all know as QH.

A and L

Posted by: QuickHare Aug 27 2004, 07:58 PM

When you don't see the next person to post, nice might not be there, for you don't know who's up next.

No I, but must include J

Posted by: Yoda Aug 27 2004, 09:15 PM

Jocular my reply as Yoda shall be, hmmm yes, use (lethal) Force you must

Use 'z' but leave out the 'o' please

Posted by: Jerry Aug 27 2004, 09:19 PM

Zany elephants can eat leaves and grass, if I may say this.

Use both L and Q, but not E

Posted by: QuickHare Aug 28 2004, 07:28 PM

Quads look a bit normal if you mind many, many kids.

Right, here we go:
Include B, L and W, but miss out O and U.

Posted by: Jerry Aug 29 2004, 01:19 AM

This wind blew very heavily and settled nicely within itself.

Use Q, Z, and X, but exclude A, E, and I (a bit harsh, I know )

Posted by: itsme Aug 29 2004, 03:29 PM

Zoom out on how Oxford Qoudpot shows our two floo puffs.

Use AEIOU but not H.

Posted by: Jerry Aug 29 2004, 03:33 PM

At great personal risk, Katie went and dived in-between the sand dunes.

Use Q, W, and Y, but not A and N

Posted by: hershey Aug 30 2004, 05:53 PM

She quietly crept through the woods.

Use F, B, N but not E or T.

Posted by: Jerry Aug 30 2004, 10:42 PM

Harry did find blood on whimsical chairs and on Mary's cranium. (Ouch, that was a tough one )

Here's a new twist:

Use I and G in the same word; do not use T and A in the same word (but use all of these letters)

Posted by: hershey Aug 31 2004, 03:15 AM

The igloo is a bit small.

Use A & M in the same word, P and I in the same word, but use each letter only once in the sentence.

(nice touch Jerry)

Posted by: Jerry Aug 31 2004, 03:29 AM

Peering out of her door, Esther thought amusedly, not gravely.

Use W, R, and G once in the sentence; use T four times in the sentence.

(you too, H.)

Posted by: QuickHare Aug 31 2004, 01:53 PM

Have you wrung out the cloth to have a second use?

Use 4xE, 4xO, 1xU, but no A and no I.
An E and O must be in one word twice (two words containing E and O).

There is a sentence, as I've got it written down here.

Leo's song echos on uselessly.

Posted by: QuickHare Aug 31 2004, 02:24 PM

It does. I was thinking of "One flew over the cuckoo's nest" myself. Now you'll need to give letters.

Use Rx2 in one word, Tx2 in another word, B & L in the same word and no I or S.

Posted by: itsme Aug 31 2004, 04:48 PM

Remember to tattoo a noble lemma onto your belly.

Use a word with three C's, another word with three N's, and no H.

Posted by: Jerry Aug 31 2004, 04:57 PM

I brewed some concoctions, annexing my resolve simultaneously.

Use four G's and not one A

Posted by: hershey Aug 31 2004, 08:10 PM

I googled for goggles.

Use two C's in one word, D&L in another and no E'S.

Posted by: Jerry Aug 31 2004, 08:33 PM

"I got an acclaim, though," I said accordingly.

Use all letters from A-K (inclusive) except E; use T twice, as well.

Posted by: hershey Aug 31 2004, 11:20 PM

Backpacking at dusk in July is tons of happy and fun.

Use L through T with double 0's and no E's.

Posted by: QuickHare Sep 1 2004, 07:54 PM

That's too hard for a small, witty lapin (in français) as QH.

Right. Use every letter of QuickHare in a sentence, but not using more than two stated letters in each word.

Posted by: Jerry Sep 1 2004, 09:33 PM

"Quickly hear him out, Fred!"

If it's acceptable:

Use A, C, E, G,... (skip one) until Q (inclusive)

Posted by: QuickHare Sep 2 2004, 09:14 PM

Actually, Q, u, i, c and k all appear in the first word, when I said no more than two stated letters in each word.

And it has to be about ten words long....

Posted by: Jerry Sep 2 2004, 11:12 PM

Oh, sorry. I misunderstood your directions to mean "use all letters of 'QuickHare' in a sentence, but do not use the same letter twice in each word". Sorry

So after making a fool of myself , here's another attempt:

"Qanat means a type of hoary, ill, cry; very not known"

If it's right, then follow the directions I left in my previous, incorrect post.

p.s. Qanat is a real word, if anyone wants to know... The definition as I put it is wrong, though

"An Ace!" cried the dealer, excitedly watching Jim lay down his last card -- completing his partial flush of king, queen, jack, and ten.

...that's right, isn't it? (if I were really lazy, I could just have written 'the quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dogs'.)

Use x, z, and q to start words. don't use o or a at all. Include the word 'pickle'.

Posted by: hershey Sep 3 2004, 01:52 PM

The zebu quietly munched pickles since it isn't xeric.

(some may argue that the use of the contraction is cheating but oh well )

Use A,E,I, O,U and Y to start words, you may only use each vowel one additional time.

Posted by: QuickHare Sep 3 2004, 06:49 PM

You untie each only in ash.

The next person mut use the letters B, L, I and P in one word, but not use the word BLIP. You may not use the letters O or A.

(I've used contractions, too, but I think words like "ne'er" is cheating.)

Posted by: Jerry Sep 3 2004, 09:20 PM

The blueprints definitely exceed my requirements.

Do not use P or I; use a palindrome in the sentence

Hannah and Bob went to the lot to check on a toyota.

Do not use 'QWERTY'.

A slugis a small snail minus a building on his back.

Use the letters of QWERTY but not UIOP.

Really, he can set a wry scene at Qatar, as well as at Qanat.

Use the letters of 'CARMEN' only once each. Use a palindrome

He sounds a toot or so, but my duck is still ok.

the next person must use all the letters of IMOGEN, BART, JERRY and HERSHEY.

Posted by: itsme Sep 8 2004, 07:19 AM

"The next person must use all the letters of IMOGEN, BART, JERRY and HERSHEY. "

That's it. It is a complete sentence with more than ten words. And it fullfills the condition imposed.

Allright, the next one must do the same thing but use the letters of those words inside different words.

Posted by: hershey Sep 11 2004, 07:17 PM

The engine of my Berreta often jerks, rattles and shakes.

Use the letters from HARRY, GINNY, RON & HERMIONE in separate words in a sentence that has no more then eight words.
