The nearly the same game

The nearly the same game

votes

Here is another game this one is called "The nearly the Same Game"

This game is to find words that have only one letter different between the English and the Spanish.

I will start with

reverso - reverse

Check to see if your word has already been sent before entering it.

I wonder how many we will find.

If they actually look nearly the same but are used differently it would be nice to know that.

Vamos!!.

PS Everyone gets a vote here - if I can remember to do it. wink

After I put this dumb response I realized they're the same in English and Spanish, not one letter off. How embarrassing. - Lrtward, Feb 14, 2010
