We start with one word, then you have a choice of three options:
- Add one letter
- Delete one letter
- Change one letter
The words made should all be real words. The author should supply the first dictionary definition.
We will start with the word “Animal” which means * 1. A multicellular organism of the kingdom Animalia, differing from plants in certain typical characteristics such as capacity for locomotion, nonphotosynthetic metabolism, pronounced response to stimuli, restricted growth, and fixed bodily structure. *
Ok.
AnimalS 1. same as above, only several.
Party pooper. I think that’s a dead end, Meatros:p
anime - Japanese animation?
vagile
Characterized by vagility; able to move about or disperse in a given environment: a vagile animal species.
While we all know what we could arrive at by changing two letters, I’m stumped. The best I can come up with is ‘vagible’ -
- capable of being vaged
Anyone got a word they haven’t just made up or can we get the OP’s permission to start again?
I can’t think of anywhere to go from there.
How about.
RANT
- to speak or write in an angry or violent manner; rave.*
Panty
Short underpants for women or children. Often used in the plural.
pasty
Resembling paste, esp. in being pale and unhealthy-looking.
Pastry
Dough or paste consisting primarily of flour, water, and shortening that is baked and often used as a crust for foods such as pies and tarts.
Pantry
A closet or room in which food and dishes are stored.
Gantry
- A mount for a traveling crane consisting of a large archlike or bridgelike frame designed to move along a set of tracks.
I think we should include a fourth option for the word: Exchange the places of two letters. I think we could get a lot further that way.
Gentry
People of gentle birth, good breeding, or high social position.
If the words dead end, feel free to add more than one letter to keep it going.
