What is a 6-letter Perfect Word?

  • Thread starter Greg Bernhardt

In summary, a Perfect Word is a word in which any one letter can be replaced by another letter to form another word. Examples include CAST, where C can be replaced by L to form LAST or A by O to form COST, and a 6-letter Perfect Word is PASTER, which can be changed to MASTER, POSTER, PALTER, PASSER, PASTOR, or PASTEL. Robert is unable to come up with a 7-letter Perfect Word and suggests asking the rest of the group for ideas. Marcus jokingly mentions the word PASTERN, but then asks if Greg is paltering (insincerely negotiating) in this conversation.

A PERFECT WORD is a word in which ANY one letter could be replaced by another letter to form another word.

An example of a 4-letter Perfect Word is CAST because C could be replaced by L to form LAST or A by O to form COST, or S by R to form CART, and T by E to form CASE.

For a point : Give a 6-letter Perfect Word.

Greg, I can't come up with a seven letter word. Why don't you open it up to the rest of the gang.
