    Actually this is an assignment for my 4th grader and it has me puzzled:

    Transform one word into another by changing a single letter in each step, so that each link in the chain is a valid word. For example, to change MORE into LESS with 3 links:

    Change Flute into Cello with 7 links:


    Anyone?

    Impressive. I've never heard of flite, flits - but they are valid.

    Well done,

    Thank you,
