      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!

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!

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