                  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?

                                      No, Perl isn't smart enough.

                                        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!
