Cheat!!! You can't go from bark to lurk, that's two letters!

I think cheat is a bit strong; that suggests malicious intent, rather than an error.

Perhaps you should have called him a burk, which would also have covered the missing word.

While we're on the subject, are repeat words allowed? The 5th post (by Squelch) was 'bone', as was the 9th post by Jonny. If they're not outlawed, we could just go round in circles.

Burn

I was wondering about the repeat words too - I'll vote that they shouldn't be allowed (any more at least).

And burk should be spelled berk - it's rhyming slang for "Berkshire hunt" - I'm sure you can guess what it rhymes with. Here endeth the lesson...
