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!

Following on from the previous thread, current word is:

That sounds like a scene from a David Lynch movie @iklboo.

I do this on another forum and there is a bit more leeway . No anagrams though.
Still have to add or remove a letter but we can change the order .

@PurpleTiara
Can we maybe change the rules and incorporate it into this ?
Not creating an anagram but allowing movement of the letters with addition of one or subtraction of one .

You'll have to ask the boss 😀
