MISTRANSLATION

I came up with a potentially fun game, so I'm gonna try it out and see if it's any good.

The game is called Mistranslation.

Someone says two English words, and the goal is to find a path from the first word to the second word in as few steps as possible. The possible steps are:

• Translation: You may translate your word from any language to any other language. Verbs may be conjugated as pleased. In languages with inflection, words may also be inflected as pleased.

• Homophone/Homograph: You may take a word from any language that sounds the same or is spelled the same as your word.

An example:

I say "Yes" and "Shark".

Someone could then connect the words as follows:

1: Yes (English)
2: Hai (Japanese) Translation
3: Haai (Dutch) Homophone
4: Shark (English) Translation

Whenever someone finds a path, they get a point, and can post two new words. Do try to make sure your two words are solvable before posting them though.

If you find a shorter solution to two words that have been posted earlier, you get two points, but do not get to post new words.

Let's see where this goes!

"The" and "Nun"
