ADDLE - LAYED
list compiled by @Dez in Portland, OR and @Documentalista (citizen of the world ;)
Two or more Wordleable words that phonetically yield a different word (or phrase, title, name, etc.), excluding simple compounds such as UNDER MINED.
Stretching or eliding vowels to fit generally considered more kosher than extra or missing consonants (R
as it frequently disappears in some accents a notable exception).

On the bubble / honorable mentions
Mostly due to extra or not-quite-right consonants, or too close to simple compound words, or not really a "thing" (see my LEDGE-ENDER set below). Admittedly in the ear of the behearer.
One thing I've softened on is how R
is pronounced, since it can nearly disappear depending on accent. One example is CORNS TABLE
which as I pronounce it (US midwest/Great Lakes accent) would probably not be mistaken for "constable" but in typical British tones it works.

Dez's top ten
100% subjective list of the ones that I'd play if I weren't doing the REMIT/TIMER thing.
I'm considering rebranding the whole list MONDE GREEN TRAPS
which seems on point to me.
