ADMIRES becomes:
SIDEARM
NOTE: no replacement letter used. I think it's more fun to exhaust a word - take the same letters as far as you can go - and then, if you really need it, change a letter out.
Hope this makes sense. It seems to make the game a bit more difficult.
Whaddya think, Terry, since we're the only ones keeping it going at the moment.

Well, drat. You've exhausted this group of letters, Terry, so I will have to swap out a letter.
MISREAD becomes:
MARRIES

SIEMENS is the name for a huge German engineering company; a proper name. I've forgotten the roolz so I don't know if that's okay. Where is Coach Trav? (yoohoo! Trav!)
Maybe there's an Adventure game out there with a character named SIEMENS in it. Nevertheless, I can't come up with another word with the same letters, so:

You're right, Mark, the only proper names we can use, should be from adventure games. Heck, we can even make it place names from adventure games, or the name of a river or mountain from a game.. Can't think of a Siemens in a game. Maybe CB is doing some PR for them. :-?
I can betya we could use Nokia, I seem to remember seeing the make of the phone one of the characters used, but Siemens? :-? Hmm, Siemens also makes phones. Maybe CB saw a game character using one.

Mark is probably right about the German company but the only siemens in my dictionary refers to:
n., pl., siemens. (Abbr. S)
A unit of electrical conductance equal to one ampere per volt.
My apologies. :'(

Gosh, I just realized you are correct, CB. A siemens is a unit of electric conductance and named after Ernst Werner von Siemens:
S = [ch937]¯¹ = A/B
Used as a unit of conductance, it's spelled the same way - siemens, lowercase - and in English, is both singular and plural.

Oops, no, we're the ones who should apologise, CB! :-[ I feel pretty embarassed, that not only have I shown myself to be ignorant, but I was in too much of a hurry to even check before I commented.
My profuse, profuse apologies. :-*
This is the last time I will ever say anything before making sure of my facts. [smiley=blush.gif]
Argh, A unit of electrical conductance in the International System, equal to one ampere per volt and the derived SI unit of electrical conductance equal to 1 reciprocal ohm. Symbol S Formerly called mho.

I presume that here we are talking about the Weasley family from Harry Potter. More action-adventure really than adventure, but hey, it's close enough. Action-adventure is also good. 8-)

In any case, WEASELY can become WEASELS. (Lame, I know.)

I did check, but only found weasly. Still, Ron Weasley should be fine.

It's fine: WEASLEY -> WEASELY -> WEASELS
