    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!

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

                                    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!

                                          Can I write a perl script to do it for me?
