            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!
