Begin rule
------------------------------
    The last word of each sentence in each new rule must be the
same as the first word in the sentence, except one letter may be
mutated, by removal or change; e. g. the becomes toe. ;-)
    Lock up all hope of adding letters, for that is not true mutation, if
you look.  On your honor, words must be real words, and repetition
is a no-no.  But hyphenation is alright, so stop the with the tut, tut.

End rule

Judgement: INVALID, In the second to last sentence, the mutation ON to
NO-NO (or NO) is not allowed by this rule (note that the rule restricts
"each new rule" and this is a new rule).  The only mutations allowed are
removal of one letter or change of one letter where change is exemplified
by the transformation of THE to TOE.

Style: Good idea, unfortunate execution.  With the new player bonus, +1.0
