5-letter game

Miscellaneous and Personal Stuff I Must Share
1

This is similar to Dolores Reborn’s game but with two important differences:

  1. Obviously, both words must be five letters long,
  2. Unfortunately, due to the increased difficulty, you must first go through your proposed chain yourself to make sure is is possible. Since there are many more four-letter words than five-letter words that are very similar, this wasn’t reallly necessary in Dolores’ thread.

Example:
HANGS>NOOSE

HANGS
bangs
banks
bonks
books
boots
boats
goats
goaty
gouty
louty
lousy

EATEN>LASER

The only reason these are so easy is we’re thinking of them on the spot. Here’s a harder one: CELLO>VIOLA
