Happy New Year, all. I thought the "six letter words" threat would offer a slight challenge but once again I was proven wrong. Lots of sharp people on this forum! As the clock approaches midnight, and as a prelude to the start of 2008 here on the East coast I hereby up the ante by one more letter. Same rules as the other three contests (see the first post in the 4 letter thread for details).
In keeping with the nostalgia of the season and the Acura theme our starting word is, of course....
prelude
Let the games begin. One of these years it should get challenging.

I don't think alloted is a word, should be two Ts. But I'll take care of it...

TOTALED
(Top) Dog,
you are absolutely correct! My error. Your continuation of my illegal word "alloted" with "totaled" is, of course, right on the mark.
Can anyone come up with a suitable follow-up to
"Allowed?" The only one I've come up with is
WELLAND
(A city in Ontario). This would be a proper noun and, according to the rules of the original contest, should only be used if we are really stuck. Are we really stuck on "Allowed?"
If so, let's move on from
WELLAND.
If any member can come up with a word after "allowed" that is not a proper noun, then we'll remove Welland. Otherwise, game on. Finally! A contest with a bit of a challenge. ;) |

OK, here's a word that's not a proper noun: lowland
Game on! :) |

If rfowkes creates an 8 Letter Word thread, I might have to start looking for a word generator. :D |

I could do porcini, which is the plural, but that's not very exciting.
How about :
