We'll create a word chain by changing, adding, or taking away one letter from the previous word.

Note: This is a non-competitive game.  The goal of this game (I decided) is to try to make the chain as long as possible.

Example:

Player 1: cat

Player 2: cat-bat

Player 1: cat-bat-bit

Player 2: cat-bat-bit-bite

Player 1: cat-bat-bit-bite-kite

Player 2: cat-bat-bit-bite-kite-kit

And it continues.

Rules:

No double posting.

Do not do a word that was previously posted.

DO NOT USE RESOURSES (such as a dictionary) TO FIND WORDS UNLESS NOBODY CAN THINK OF A WORD TO CONTINUE THE CHAIN.

I'll start:

Word

Word-sword

Word-sword-swords

Word-sword-swords-words

Word-sword-swords-words-cords

By the way, someone wins if no one can think of a word to add to the chain without adding a word already in the chain.

EDIT: Actually, I changed it.  We work together to try to make the chain as long as possible.

Funny how we're the only one playing.
