Word Association... Level 2

[Chief Pride]

It's word association for smart peoples! :D

Rules:
You can ONLY do ONE of THREE actions each time, and these actions are:

There are four actions you can do with each post, however, you can choose only one of these 3

Add only one letter to the word Remove only one letter from the word Change only one letter from the word

The fourth action is that at any time, no matter which of the other 3 actions you chose, you can rearrange the letters in the word, but it has to make sense!

For example, let's say that we start with egg. Next we can make it beg and after that bed. Then we can add a letter to make it bead, then it is head , then ahead then heads then shed, she, the, he, we, awe, are ... if you play it right IT NEVER ENDS

On error, goto:
If anyone makes a mistake, go back to the post previous to the mistake, also, let the person know via PM or something that they didnt follow the rules, or made a mistake :)

GO!

Seeing as it's becoming more and more difficult to come up with (real) words at this length, I'm going to propose that we impose a limit of eight letters to save this thread from a premature death. If someone posts a bigger word than that by ignorance or accident, I say just pick eight letters of your choice and go from there.

So, taking eight letters from 'toeslippers':

sloppier

there is no need to do that, in the rules it says ur allowed to take a letter away too, there are 3 words u can make from toeslippers JUST by removing a letter
