    Here's a Friday game. Take a word and keep altering one letter at a time, forming other words, until all of the letters in the original word are gone. Once you've reached that point, do the opposite process until you're arrived back to the original word. None of the words in the list can appear more than once. The objective is to have the shortest list possible. Here's an example:

    JOSH
    GOSH
    GUSH
    GUST
    BUST
    BUNT *
    BUTT
    MUTT
    MUST
    MUSH
    MOSH
    JOSH

    Note: I put an asterisk next to the word at which the process is reversed (all the letters are different than the original word). Have fun!

          I will have to tell my wife about this game. She loves word games. You could almost make it a competition by playing with 2 or more people. Take turns providing words ... see who can finish first. ... ah ... any other day and I just might try it. :)

            Yeah, I've done that before. Ya know, during those craaazy drunken college parties, just before the orgies and knife fights broke out.

                                      Here's a Friday game. Take a word and keep altering one letter at a time, forming other words, until all of the letters in the original word are gone. Once you've reached that point, do the opposite process until you're arrived back to the original word. None of the words in the list can appear more than once. The objective is to have the shortest list possible. Here's an example:

                                      JOSH
                                      GOSH
                                      GUSH
                                      GUST
                                      BUST
                                      BUNT *
                                      BUTT
                                      MUTT
                                      MUST
                                      MUSH
                                      MOSH
                                      JOSH

                                      Note: I put an asterisk next to the word at which the process is reversed (all the letters are different than the original word). Have fun!
