Change One Letter - for the better

[StillCoughingandLaughing]

You can:

Change one letter - e.g. Start to Stare
Add one - Start to Starts
Remove one - Start to Star
Move one - Start to Tarts

You cannot move more than one letter, or combine any of the moves (e.g. you cannot change the S in Start to a Y and then move it to make Tarty). No anagrams!
