    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

                                    BUNT *
                                    BUTT
                                    MUTT

                                    JOSH

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