cae_16682 Forum Champion Registered: Fri Jun 08 2007 Posts: 5759 Loc: India	Doublets was a game invented by Lewis Carroll as a Christmas Present for two girls. In "Doublets", what you need to do is morph one word into another by changing one letter at a time in a sequence of meaningful words. As an example: How did MAN evolve from APE? Like this: APE APT OPT OAT MAT MAN In this game: a member will start with a challenge and the first word in the sequence. The next posts the next word in the sequence, and so on till the final word is reached. Note: While creating new challenges, be creative, at the same time making sure that the starting and final word are of the same length HAVE FUN! We'll start simple: The Challenge: Make MORE into LESS MORE LORE Change a letter and find the next possible word in the sequence. _________________________ Don't ruin my story with your logic! - Richard Castle, Castle
