A word game

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
JOSHNote: 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!

BUN BIN SIN SIT * BIT BUT BUN wow, that was hard.:-D

THE TEE TEA SEA * PEA PEE SEE SHE THEOK, I picked an easy one... but "A > .. > A" was harder ;P. Are there any other 1-letter words apart from "A"?"For fifty bucks I'd put my face in their soup and blow." - George Costanza
