this one is a lot tougher than you might first think. Half of Ma’s plays flaunt Rule 3. I figure if you can drop the prefix and still have a real live word then it shouldn’t be played. Have fun with the challenge of it.
…and it has nothing to do with being a REAL word or not. I invented my rules to stretch my brain. Any of us can come up with a word and then spew infinite variables by changing the prefix (or suffix for that matter). The point is to make your brain go in different directions, do gymnastics, think differently. LIPOSUCTION – brilliant! GRAPESHOT – genius!
And the loop-hole is finding the prefix that uses the letter. Ma’s play “Supposition” is the only one that makes the cut.
I wanted to play ‘imposition’ as a nod to my work in newspapers. But alas, Rule 3.
Spastic
repast
imposter
apostle
apostrophe
apostate
composition

I don’t think any of my words “flaunt ” rule 3.
The last half may be a word of its own but with the prefix, they are completely new words.
Supposition
upstart
repast
Hey Randy. I already said repast. Try again! but I do like upstart
where are my answers?
deposit
grapeshot
liposuction
juxtapositionRule 3 – JAtrying one more time – if I was paranoid I would think that JA has rigged a blocker
grapeshot and liposuction are what this game is all about
Good plays Lynda
these “may” be common prefixes but these
are “real” words
decomposition
exposition
imposition
-still looking for the loop hole
LOL – if I see one more “position” word played I’m turning this car around, and then you’ll be sorry….
