Change One Letter - THE REVENGE

Reminder of how the game is played - you can change one letter by adding one, removing one or moving one. You can’t make an anagram or combining moving a letter with adding or removing one. For example, if your word is Carp, you can:

  • Add one (e.g. ‘Carps’)
  • Remove one (e.g. ‘Cap’)
  • Move one (e.g. ‘Crap’)

You can’t make ‘Crab’, for example, by moving the R and changing the B, or ‘Park’ by jumbling the letters before changing the C to a K.

In the spirit of all that, our starter word is:

Yeah OP has added a category of move one letter to another place but not change one in the same place.

@StillCoughingandLaughing come back and clarify!

I thought the rules were

Add one ie. Cat - cart
Change one ie. Cat - cab
Remove one ie. Cat - at

?

StillCoughingandLaughing · 20/04/2021 18:21

Right - I am officially stupid 🙈 I did indeed forget to include change one letter (if only I’d had the title of the thread to give me a clue Grin). So yes, Carp to Carb would be fine.

Sorry everyone; maybe the lockdown wine is catching up with my brain...

That was the original. 'Move one' may lead to some more interesting ways out of familiar loops or dead ends so I think it's a good addition, and fits with the 'one change at a time' overall rule.
