So this is how you play:
1. You take the word from the post above you (and I'll give a starting word to begin with now)
2. Re-arrange the letters (this is optional), and
3. You must either add exactly 2 new letters or remove 2 existing letters in order to make a new word.
The new word should be precisely 2 letters longer or 2 letters shorter than the word that came before it.
For example, if I start with the word 'best', I can make the word 'bested' by adding 2 new letters. If I take word 'bested', I can re-arrange the letters and remove 2 to make the word 'debt' or you can re-arrange the letters and add another two, it is all up to you.
We may reach an impasse, but we'll burn that bridge when we come to it. :)
