Silver Revolver

If I have understood the rules correctly, words that ends in "-lvar", "-lvor", "-lvir" and so on would be acceptable aswell. Am I right?

Re: Seuss Off #2 - The second coming
Fournine is being intentionally tricky, picking a word that in the English language, has no rhyme. That is tricky.
Wilbefast is the only one who knows the rules, and he seems to stretch them also .

Re: Seuss Off #2 - The second coming
A quick Google-search reveals that "silver" actually rhymes with "gilver" (a female lamb) Freshbite is right - "revolver" is perfectly legal, so on with the game!
When a gilver made of silver has revolvers, you call it a:
SILVER REVOLVER GILVER
When a gilver made of silver has revolvers, you call it a:
SILVER REVOLVER GILVER

Re: Seuss Off #2 - The second coming
Is gilver an English word?
Or is it from another language?
Anyway, purple, month, and orange are other words that have no rhyme.
Door hinge does not count. It is two words.

Heh, I was hoping people would give up and I'd win instantly. Good job, everyone.
Wilbefast, the pose of that lamb works perfectly with the chunk of silver - brilliant!

Re: Seuss Off #2 - The second coming
^ BullWether or not the words rhyme is not the case here.
Appearently, the last consonants in the word has to be the same, however, the vowels can be different.
Take SILVER as an example.
All the consonants after the second to last vowel ( I ) must be the same, in this case LV R.
If we take DIFFERENT as another example, where the second to last vowel is the E in the middle. The letters which follows is RENT, and the consonants are R NT
That gives the word a different pronounciation (thus do not rhyme), but it follows the same structure.
REVOLVER would be an acceptable continuation for SILVER and
FOOTPRINT would be an acceptable follow-up for DIFFERENT.
NOTICE that the vowels you can... "rhyme" with have to be in the same vowel-group.
"Soft" vowels: A O U
"Rough" vowels: E I Y
I hope Wilbefast could give his opinion to this. I'll change the post according to his response.

Re: Seuss Off #2 - The second coming
Yep - Seuss goes from TWEEDLE to BEETLE in the first line, which is already pushing it a bit (DL to TL), and everything else builds on one of these too:
PUDDLE, MUDDLE = UDDLE
POODLE, NOODLE = OODLE
BATTLE = ATLE
BOTTLE = OTLE
BEETLE = EETLE
TWEEDLE = EEDLE
PADDLE = ADLE
Though if this is anything to guy by you want to keep the vowel the end of the word fixed - so in this case you case use -ALVER, -AELVER, -ELVER, -EELVER, -ILVER, -IELVER, -OLVER, -OOLVER and -ULVER at very least! Coincidently "elver" is a baby eel, and, yes, "gilver" is English.

Re: Seuss Off #2 - The second coming
Let me have a shot at this. I suck at image edting, otherwise I would have used a rubik's cube solver.
When a gilver made of silver that has revolvers is solved by a solvent, the solvent is called:
SILVER REVOLVER GILVER SOLVER

When our silver Olver gilver (with revolvers) is solved with solvers made from elvers, you call it:
SILVER OLVER REVOLVER GILVER ELVER SOLVER
edit: I updated the first page to include all the various games, with the final result and link to the start - if I'm ever not around, Fournine is welcome to add stuff to it where nessecary

I think you'll find that "purple" rhymes with "curple" and "orange" rhymes with "Blorenge"Armored Wolf wrote:purple, month, and orange are other words that have no rhyme.
Re: Seuss Off #2 - The second coming
What do you get when you mix the SILVER OLVER REVOLVER GILVER ELVER SOLVER with experimental black metal?
SILVER ULVER* OLVER REVOLVER GILVER ELVER SOLVER
* Ulver is a black metal/trip-hop/experimental band. I used part of the cover of their album, Shadow of the Sun

Re: Seuss Off #2 - The second coming
I apologize for the still blatantly bad image editing
When our silver Olver gilver combined with Ulver (with revolvers) is solved with solvers made from elvers on a salver, you call it:
