A word game
-
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
JOSHNote: 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. :)
