      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!

                                  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!

                                      Very nice, szukuro!! That's as short as the list can be for a 4 letter word! :cool:
