No! Put the 'S' on the Other End

There are some words that you might think take an S for a plural when in fact they don’t, but you can hook an S at the beginning instead.

The list below shows first the base word, followed by words made by hooking a letter in front and then finally any words that can be made by hooking a letter afterwards. Because the base word can never be followed with an S there might be no words in that final column.

Also, I am listing so many words, that I won’t be including the meanings, so if there are any that are interesting you will have to look them up yourself.

I hope you find a few chances to either surprise your opponent with a well-placed ‘S’ or to challenge them off when they put their ‘S’ at the wrong end.

Cheers
