    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!

                                  How about my full name? eh? EH? thought so. I simply cannot be bothered to do so;)

                                    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?
