Thread: One Letter at a Time v2

The Rules

I will post a word, and you will change one letter in it. Simple enough right?

=Swapping the position of letters is fair so long as no letters
are added, subtracted or changed within that turn.
=Adding a letter is considered a turn.
=Subtracting a letter is considered a turn.
=Changing a letter into another letter is considered a turn.

I believe this covers all the different actions one can take.
There's no reason we all need to take a game so seriously, but
I also believe in fair play and for that I feel I should stress
what the understood rules are since the game play has gone astray
in the past. This doesn't change anything, I just hope that the
rules are finally clear to everyone so we don't run into anymore
confusion down the line.

EXAMPLE:
Person before: Bat

Person after: Cat

Person after: Mat

Ect.
