Oh dear… now I have to make one up. Try your hand at being a Deity, then, and from VOIDS, bring us LIGHT.
I need a hint – where can you go from VOIDS?
BOIDS Or haven’t you seen any Mafia movies lately?
Actually, I was thinking “noids” – remember the “avoid the noids” pizza ad of a decade or so ago?
Also, working from the other direction, you can do LIGHT --> SIGHT --> SIGHS, but I’m not sure where you can go from there.
Jurph, honey, did you check this puppy?
One of you wise men must be able to bring us from FOOLS to SAGES.
Silly twickster, nothing can come from VOIDS.

I just realized I could have saved a few steps on that ANGEL → DEMON transition by proceeding from LUNES to DUNES, DINES, and then DIMES. So let’s see if you can progress from WINDY to TERSE.
:smack:
I completely lose. Totally.
We’ll help you get back on track.
Get from
MARES to CARTS.
But be CAREful. We know you got a lot of sMARTS.
You know, I just realized that MINE (fools - sages) was totally lame. They both ended with ‘S’.
I could take a couple of these :smack: :smack: , too.

Oh no! That one was mine…thanks for pointing out my errors Trunk …I didn’t just replace a letter, I switched to playing a hybrid of Jumble 5-letter!
Can I still play? :o
I meant to add one these to my post :smack:
and one for good measure :smack:
OK. We went from BEERS tp DRUNK.
How about going from DRUNK to HORNY.

After that, it seems fitting to turn from our VICES and seek GRACE.

Now let’s see if you can go to the CONGO (besides either of two African countries, the word also refers to both a type of tea and a long, slender amphibian) and bring back a RHINO.
