We haven't had a new word game in awhile. How about a word jumble? You figure out the word and then post a new one for the next person. Okay, now, let's not make the words too obscure or no one will ever be able to figure them out.

Looks like logophile.

And yes, Abner was correct. It's really a flouting of the unstated no-proper-names-allowed practice but it seemed to follow "baseball" naturally. (Or maybe that should have been "precede"?)

Anyway.

It doesn't for me. Aren't Doubleday a firm of publishers? What is their connection with baseball?

TRIGONOMETRY

Abner Doubleday invented baseball. Was it Bob Newhart who had that hilarious sketch of Mr. Doubleday trying to sell it to a game manufacturer?

And re ucilgars: Douglas Hofstadter, three books or so after Godel/Escher/Bach, wrote one which dealt with available programs/problems dealing with artificial intelligence for the computer, and used anagramming as one capacity of the human brain that was worthy of dissecting and trying to reproduce heuristicaly. On page 88 of Fluid Concepts and Creative Analogies (Hofstadter, D. R., & The Fluid Analogies Research Group (1995). Fluid Concepts and Creative Analogies. Computer Models of the Fundamental Mechanisms of Thought) he presented that collection of letters, and for whatever reason I found it more difficult than many, hence worthy of offering now.

FANTASTIC! Muttonchops it is. That's a style of facial hair, sort of super-sideburns...I'm sure you can find an illustration without too much trouble; sorry I don't have the time right now.

Nothing is ringing bells.

Haven't fully proofread these but
--if you're feeling risque it's LABIA MINORA
--if you replace AN with ME it becomes MEMORABILIA
--if you're titled and have a French friend he's a BARONIAL AMI

So far that's all I come up with.

Now for those of you, who, like me, want to know the answers (I have a compartmentalized brain, I guess Wink), here are the 2 discussed above:

CAPYEARICCI.....EPICARICACY

SHADBEERRAH.....HABERDASHER

And, I thought this would be a simple word scramble when I started it! Razz

Isn't a "screwball" what some people call a "slider"?

Edit: aparently almost, but not quite. For much more than you ever wanted to know about throwing a baseball try this link! (and forgive, if you can, the "orientated" in the discussion of the knuckleball!)
