On another forum where I played this game we had a rule that the word length had to be <5 unless the poster had a solution themselves.

Re: Metamorphosis

Hi julianthemath;

Cannot think of any combinations

That is okay but you need to solve the puzzle before you can post a new one. Otherwise we will get behind.

We still have one to do from anonimnystefy:

that
chat
coat
coot
cook
look
lock
lick
lice
nice

Re: Metamorphosis

You have to go from one word to the next changing one letter at a time. Each word must be legal.

Re: Metamorphosis

You have to use the words the previous poster left and the words have to also be the same number of letters.

That is almost okay but tone -> much is not a one letter change.
