HOLY HELL! I give up! [sub]SMASHES head against wall 8 or 9 times, then drinks Windex to forget the pain[/sub]
I can do it in 14 steps…but not 12 yet:
chaos
chats
coats
costs
casts
cases
cates
cites
citer
cider
aider
adder
odder
order
Unfortunately, it also uses some “dodgy” words (they are words, just not very common ones).
Chaos to Order in twelve steps:
Chaos
Chats
Coats
Costs
Coses
Codes
Coder
Cider
Aider
Adder
Alder

Order
Coses is the plural of cos, a variety of lettuce. (It’s in the dictionary, I tells ya, honest!)
Your next challenge: Opus to Bill (pretty easy–I did it in 8 steps with all common words)

Yeah, a Quire is 1/20 of a ream of paper.

Whew…ok for real now:
Ugly -> Duck
blinks
I’m not sure that’s possible. The only word I’m getting that is one letter from ‘ugly’ is ‘ugli’, and the only word I’m getting that is one letter from ‘ugli’ is ‘ugly’ …
Dictionary.com lists a lot of “acronyms” that would help make that one work, but um, they’re not real words!
You’ve stumped me!
http://www.dictionary.com ROCKS!
But yeah, I should have tested that one first…I went with my own assumption that everything was possible within reason. Oh well…
Um…
Try this one then:
God -> Fry
[sub]Not as sacreligious as it may seem…It’s linking the first and last half of Gilber Godfry’s last name…although it does look kinda bad from a religion standpoint.[/sub]
