Hi,

Probably a silly question, but in the rules it says that the assigned word can be used in a larger word if it is there completely, spelled as assigned. Does that mean just another form of the assigned word, such as courage (encourage, courageous) or could "out" be included as "flout"? That would certainly open up a lot more possibilities but it didn't seem in the spirit of the challenge, so I wanted to be sure. :)

Thank you,

Rene'

Yes, "flout" would be acceptable if your assigned word is "out," since it includes the word exactly as it is spelled, and continuously (no spaces). The meaning won't matter, as long as it is included in the story. Please let us know if you have any other questions or need anything else. Good luck!
