Anyone for a 5 Letter Word Game?

[maliakei]

Game Rules:

1. All words must contain the same number of letters as specified in the title of this game thread.

2. Each word must change no more than one letter from the previous word.

3. Letters may also be scrambled, and okay to change 1 letter only.

4. Please, no repeats on words which have already been posted.

5. If we absolutely get stuck, then the next person can re-submit a new word to keep the game going.

I'll begin with the first word:

SUNNY

[nightwalker]

sunny to funny

[Hairgod]

Too obvious.....FANNY

[maliakei]

FANNY to FAWNY

Fawny = light yellowish brown that is usually used in reference to a dog's coat colour.

[maliakei]

Words ending in "Y" are tough!

FAWNY to FAWNS

O.K., I am thinking... but maybe in the five letter game, we should allow two letter changes??? But I am still thinking here.

[MeBNude]

Ohh... duh... lawns... but I still advocate for the "2 letter change" rule!

Don't let those pesky FAWNS eat our LAWNS

Hmmm, beaten to it.

How about to afford our manicured LAWNS we may need to take out LOANS

You think? We could take a vote on that, so how do you do that?

I suppose if we got stuck on a word, then someone starts with a new one to keep the game going?

In the meanwhile. . .

LOANS to SNAIL

I raise your "swats" to "swaths!"
