We've had number-plate games on here already .... they're smashing for those times when you're in the car for ages, or in town centres and so on .. , and this one ( OAB) needs a bit of thought ..... it's up there in the cysgod ...and it's not a Welsh word .... but maybe if you could add another letter you could re-anagram-ise it into a Welsh word ... if it was English you were doing it in you could grab a T out of mid air and reshuffle it to make BOAT, for example.
Well, what could you do in Welsh ? Have a think, and maybe a dip into the geiriadur.....
.. if you get stuck, you can try having two extra letters ... or three ... and this is a new challenge ... how far can you go with it.
Another completely different way of doing it is to imagine that you can use one of the three letters a a "blank" .. it can be what you like ! There's loads of possibilities with English ... you could turn the A into an R and get ORB, or into a G to get BOG. Or you could change the O into a T and get BAT ...
Can you make any Welsh words using that idea with your three letters.... well for a start, if you used the O as a blank and used it as an M, you would have MAB. Or you could use the A as a D and have BOD.
Any other possibilities there ? Have another think.
But the main idea with both of these methods is doing it when you're in't car, gwibbing and crwydro-ing around.
And that 2nd idea ... with one of the letters being a blank and turning into any letter you like ...can be used in a Scrabble game too... it's official .. it's called " If-only" Scrabble ...because you've got to think " if only that W could be an R ..or whatever... and I've written about it a while ago on here ... here it is ...

But now it is the Music Spot. As you know, I'm a bit touchy about my ratings in the various Welsh Music Spot Leagues ... once again it has dropped a bit ... in the " Grooviest Welsh Music Offering by an Outsider" rankings I've dropped from 56,306th to 56,377th.
Anyroad up, here's Nid Madagscar and the cunningly titled " Trac Wyth" .
"I'm off out for a drink at 8 "
" Wyth ?"
Ah, those were the days. Unfortunately I was on the floor when this picture was taken. As per usual.
" He's a 1-off you know"
" Who is ?"
"Ian"
" What on earth are those 2 rather colourful people covered in ?"
" Dye"
" That thing you climbed 3 times ... what was it ? A .... "
" Tree "
The rest are even worse.
If you have any truly appalling ones, why not put them on here as a comment ... I hardly ever get any you know .. or as an email to ..

Not that I'm desperate or 'owt !
Disparate, certainly.
