In this challenging game you'll be tasked with forming as many words as you can using only the letters in my name:
Vanessa Olivia Creamcheese
Here are the rules that you must follow to be sure that your words qualify for points:
1) All words must have a minimum of 7 letters.
2) Words with fewer than 7 letters will not count.
3) Words in the plural form (i.e. with "s" or "es" added to the end) will only count if
a) the word would be less than 7 letters without the "s" or "es"
b) it is not possible to form the singular form of the word with the letters in my name (for example, a word that ends in "y"). In this case, you may list the plural form.
4) Words that end in "s" but are not plural forms are fine.
5) Verbs must be in the infinitive form, i.e. the form that follows the word "to".
6) You can include names of places and brand names.
7) Don't include names of people or pets.
8) If a letter occurs more times in your word than in my name the word will not count.
9) No more than one word from the same word family will qualify, so use the one with the most letters to get the most points.
I hope this isn't too confusing. If you have any questions, just ask!
You will receive 1 point for each 7-letter word, 2 points for each 8-letter word, 3 points for each 9-letter word, 4 points for each 10-letter word, etc.
Please do NOT post your answers in the diary comments! Send me a pawmail with your list of words by 9 pm Catster Time on Saturday, November 12th. That will also be the deadline for playing any of the other games in my diary and in Toffy's journal.
Good luck! Thanks for playing!
Purrs,
Vanessa
P.S. Toffy and I have decided that the grand prize winner will have a choice of receiving a whole bunch of Zealies (exact number to be determined later) or, if you prefer, a gift certificate to a Catster merchant (the value of which will be decided later and provided that this option is available). Other players with correct answers will also receive some Zealies so don't stop playing, cats! Rosettes will be awarded to all cats who played the games.
I'll have to put on my thinking cap for this game, Vanessa, this one sounds tough! Concats on being a DDP today!
Love, Tully What a fun game, Vanessa! And you're a diary pick today too, so hopefully lots of cats will get in on the fun!
*runs off to begin writing down words* Happy diary pick Vanessa! What a pretty name for a pretty kitty. You could almost be my twin, or a twin to Samantha my sister!
I'll have to get my dad to help with this game; I never got to go to school!
Watch out for an extra hug or kiss on this special diary day!
Love
Elsa, xo Did you say creamcheese??? Ymmmmm
Happy DDP! Henry Thanks to every cat who played this game! There certainly are a lot of words in my name! Beepers found the most words but every cat who submitted a list will receive some Zealies.
