In general, you shouldn't want to do this, as all Factor words (besides the one I'm about to show you) need a fixed number of parameters at compile-time. Macros expand at compile-time, so that's one way to get around the restriction.
The other way it to use a slow word called with-datastack: { 1 2 } [ + ] with-datastack You can also use smart combinators: [ 2 1 - 3 ] sum-outputs This works because the quotation infers at compile-time, and sum-outputs is a "smart" combinator that expands based on the number of outputs inferred. You are trying to do a C varargs function, basically, and just as in C, most Factor words are not varags. If you have more details about what you want to program, we could help you!
