Last 2 Letters -- Fun Game! - Part 5

Use the last two letters to start the next word

Playing off:

leech

nefarious

Proving RolandPerkins wrong in Post 425 of part 5 once again!

All of these are official words that can be found in the Scrabble dictionary. Longest word is 5 letters.

yxlan
yxorp

The 3-letter words are all acronyms. The first is an Island in Stockholm. The second is a process used to check the validity of traffic, and is also known as Application Level Firewalling, or Secure Reverse Proxy.

So yes, there are two non-acronym defined Scrabble words that start with YX! (I actually checked before submitting Onyx!)

usquabae

(And yes, there are words that start with ae - and a lot more than 2!)

Playing off 345:

SInce 345 "Viola" has an o, l, i. and v; and E is
the only changed letter, I don't see what is wrong with 346,
but I'll cancel it.

RolandPerkins Just continue please. Mistakes happen let's not waste time over petty things.

>399 PumitHam: It's easy enough to edit the post or post a different word when this sort of mistake happens. Besides, "rn" is difficult to play off of, as it is not the beginning of any English words, only acronyms. Please try to post words with usable endings, this better maintains the interest of other players.

Yes, I understand this. So why not continue playing instead of reprimanding me like I'm a small child? Get with the program and continue that game please. Thank you!

Since this topic is over 400 posts, I will continue the game in another topic from the last correct play.
