Change 1 Add/Remove 1 game

This is a slightly different version of the Change 2 letters game(s) we've got already.

The rules are basically the same except for what you can change.
  • Taking the existing word you may change one letter anywhere in it.
  • You may add or subtract one letter to/from the word BUT this can only be at the beginning or end of the word. ie. you can tack a letter on either end, or remove a letter from either end.
For example:
settee -> settle... OK, changed 1
settee -> settler... OK, changed 2nd e to l, added r
settee -> better ... NOT OK, 2 letters changed
setter -> otter ... OK, changed 1st e to o, s removed
setter -> scatter ... NOT OK, 1 added within existing word

I have a feeling this may be a bit hard, but you're a clever bunch so we'll see how it goes :whistling:

We'll start with:
desist

Same rules about nib?
Yes, I assume all the general rules would apply as before.
It's going better than I hoped/expected. 'spose I'll have to start a 'used' list soon :(

Yes
(that's the next word, not me answering myself)
