Zygolex (a word game with a difference)

Sort:
SummerSaint
So, for this game the link between one word & the next varies and is either a change of one letter, a word that rhymes OR a word of the same meaning…

So blind (letter) could —> bland
Big (meaning) could —> huge
Cold (rhyme) could —> bold

So for each post, give the word and in brackets the required change.

Here is your starter…

Life (rhyme)
