      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!

                THE TEE TEA SEA * PEA PEE SEE SHE THE OK, I picked an easy one... but "A > .. > A" was harder ;P. Are there any other 1-letter words apart from "A"?
