Cook to Meal – this week’s four letter word game
Phase one is to change one letter in the base word (Cook) to form a new word.
Now continue changing one letter in each new word until you get to the target word (Meal).
Phase two is to create a story using in order the words in your list, each word appearing in its own sentence. You are permitted to change a word in your list to a different form of the same word; for example, bent could become bend or bending.
Phase three is to send your completed word list and story to me. I will attempt to illustrate it and then post it to SoL. (If you wish you can supply your own illustrations or suggest illustrations.)
The story I posted today (June 26, 2025) Sunrise Race is an example of a Drabble, a story of exactly 100 words including the title. I find it fun to write these from time to time. Of course one hundred words is somewhat artificial, even more so because I usually include an illustration or two. A friend of mine suggested going beyond mere Drabble to something he calls Scrabble Drabble, which is a story of exactly 100 words and each of the 26 letters of the alphabet must be used at least once.
Consider writing your own Drabble (or Scrabble Drabble). And if you like, I’m willing to do some pictures to illustrate your Drabble. Send me what you come up with, including, if you wish, ideas for illustrations, and if possible I’ll illustrate and post your story. Or, of course, you can post it yourself.
