                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!
