Shuffle the letters

Shuffle the letters

Hi all,

A new game to trigger and challenge our thinking, I name it Shuffle the letters.

The idea is that one friend puts the letters of a certain word IN SPANISH in a shuffled manner, and the next friend should guess the right word consisting of these letters, after that he/she should put another word with its letters shuffled, and so forth ...

Game rules:

1- the shuffled word could be a noun, verb, adjective, adverb or any other form.

2- conjugated verbs are NOT allowed, only the infinitive tense of the verb is allowed (for example, hablamos is not allowed to be inserted, while hablar is accepted)

3- the tilde (accent) has no problem in formulating the word from the shuffled letters.

4-there is a possibility that more than one word could be formulated from the shuffled letters.

5- if the original word contains a certain letter that is repeated more than once; the shuffled letters should include all of them repeated as well (i.e. the letters' number of the word is exactly the same as the shuffled letters).

6- GUESS is not allowed. please try to answer the right word.

7- In the shuffled letters, all letters are small letters (a, b, ...) except the first letter of the word should be capital letter to make it easier for guessing the word.

8- definite and indefinite articles are NOT allowed.

Here is an example:

Shuffle: l a p t o n a

Original word: plátano (note that the letter a was inserted twice in the shuffle and the accent isn't considered)

And then inserting new shuffled letters of a word.

Let's start:

Shuffle: r i t a g e r l a n

Your turn ....

Mndeed, you need to "unaccept" as this is an ongoing game and you won't get any responses if people think the question has been answeredwink

el nuevo = o c r n a o z

To make it a little easier and to allow even beginners to play, let's capitalize the first letter of the new wordwink

Can you check the spelling of your clue, please? I sense it may be incorrect, or maybe my vocabulary is much worse than I thought. :) - pesta, Jan 18, 2012

p p a r a L m = lámpara = lamp

from Himself dated Jan 18... just curious what happened to the other "p?" wink Could it be superfluous? ... guessing one of the "p's" should be another "a"....
