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.)

You can't have 'tale', that's subtracting one and adding another one!

cheated

Elegran Mon 01-Jun-15 22:44:40

I think its a restart because hatred wssn't leading anywhere. Maybe we should say if we are restarting.

Nelliemoser Mon 01-Jun-15 22:44:50

We think faster than the system can cope with.

I did notice that heated was two changes from hatred, one of them a change in letter order. i thought ana was starting again because of it.
