Popcorn almost done,
Toes and chestnuts toasted,
That’s November fun.

altering one letter at a time, each alteration making a new word, the

same order. Example: Change lamp to fire in 4 moves. LAMP: LAME, FAME,
FARE, FIRE. Now you change 1. SILK to WOOL in 6 moves. 2. BOY to MAN
in 3 moves. 3. TWO to TEN in 3 moves.
