me are in parantheses. See if you can meet or, better yet, beat them.

2. hunt-punt-punk-puck-peck

Doreen, excellent!

1. look-loon-loan-lean-leap

4. dusk-->dust-->dost-->dort-->mort-->morn

Coreoverload, exactly!

soot, yours needs a little tweaking. The only "Dort" I can find is a proper noun.

Change that one word - everything else is fine.

Hints added.

3. rose, rise, rice, race, face

Good try Doreen. You left off "nose" at the beginning, so the total moves
are 5. It can be done in 4 moves. Please try again.

Hint: Change the "i" in "rise" to a different vowel and take it from there.

6. water - later - laser - baser - bases - basis - basin

Absolutely, Pandora.

4. dusk-->dust-->dost-->most-->mort-->morn

That's the word, soot!
