5 letter game

Hello! 

one of my favourite word games is where you are given five letters and you need to make a sentence from it, making one word that starts with each letter, in that order. The sentence can be as correct or quirky as you wish, don't worry about grammar! It can be serious, silly or ludicrous.

You then leave five letters for another person. These five letters can be a five letter word or just five random letters, anything goes.

It often helps not to think about it too much or it starts to get hard!

For example:

S T A R T

somehow the amazon re-forrested tremendously

or,

G H J K L

giant hairy jovial kangaroos laugh

or,

M F H B E

microscopic follicles harmlessly brew elixirs

 

and here is one for you to try....

P A P E R

(and then leave a new set of five letters for the next person)

Enjoy! 🙂 Christina

Hello MK, I found befog by googling a synonym for confusing/confusion/confuse and looking for a 5 letter word among the results. I rather like the word befog.

 

I’ve always found the words birdy and eagle funny in golf.

Revolving, experimentally Try Reading Official

CHART

 

It's the eye chart, I mean. Put one up on your wall, then start spinning & see if you can read it.... I'd love to know if this results in anything other than dizziness.

That would be most challenging MK! I imagine only catching glimpses in peripheral vision. Sheldon Cooper on the Big Bang Theory does something similar to engage part of his brain while trying to gain insights from his own physics equations. It involves sudden glances at his whiteboard before spinning around again.

Meditating In Silence Transforms Yesterday's

Dear MK, I believe certain forms of meditation can transcend space and time relativity, and therefore transforming yesterday’s haiku would become entirely possible!
