OK, when chate flatlines, we sometimes get into this thing where one person posts a random (usually) 4-letter word, the the next poster changes one letter (and one letter only) to create a new word. This thread might sink like a stone, but eh.

(BTW, when we play this in the car, our rule is that you can add 1 letter, drop 1 letter, or change 1 letter. So these would each be acceptable: tap, ape, taupe, taper, tapes...but here, the word remains 4 letters long at all times?)

I like the adding and dropping letters rule, but we shall leave it up to spitz to decide, since proper nouns have already brought him suffering. :D

Righto, let's do Hattie's thing.

So, add 1, subtract 1, change 1 or a combination of the three...

Up to spitz, but I think that makes it too easy (kind of like saying your haiku could have 3-8 syllables per line). Usually the rule is add one, subtract one, OR change one.Quote:

Remove the L: LATE -> ATE
Change the A to an I: ATE -> ITE
Add an M to the end: ITE -> ITEM
CIAS, we agreed earler we were one change thing per word, or it makes it too easy/hard. But if others wanna do multiple changes per word, then I guess that's what we're doing.
