Re: Metamorphosis

Hi;

wet to tin is illegal. You must only change one letter.

Re: Metamorphosis

I'll do it then you've got an example:

GET change the T
GEM change the G
HEM change the E
HIM change the H
TIM change the I
TOM change the M
TOO

I have a feeling I cannot use a person's name.  We'll have to check with bobbym.

Re: Metamorphosis

hi Stefy,

Here's one for you.  Every word must contain a double letter.  When you change that double, you may change both in one go.
