Make a new word by changing, adding or subtracting a letter, without altering the letter order (the new letter doesn't have to go at the beginningor end, it can be anywhere.)

Bit stumped on this one. sad. Had thought of dreamer but that means adding an e and dropping au, so that's three changes. Can anyone do it with just one change?

Ana No prob! Agree, this game is doing my head in too - why do we torture ourselves in this way? We should know better by now... grin

Ana Re 'Emerald'. I was using the 'change a letter' option... I swapped the 'S' for an 'L' so hopefully haven't broken the rules!

(should't it be 'emeralds'? Otherwise you'll have added a letter and also subtracted one...)
