Ex: TINY to BIRD (4 moves)

TINS to BINS to BIND to BIRD



1.) BEEF (6 steps)



TACO

Beer
Bear
Beak
Beck
Back
Tack

BEEF
BEEN
TEEN
TERN
TARN
TARO
TACO

I think Beck is an archaic word, it wouldnt be able to be used. Is Teen a word. I never know if a shortened version of a longer word (teen from teenager) is classified as a word.

beck 2  (bĕk)

n. Chiefly British

A small brook; a creek.

You're getting a bit ornery there, icauser

Don't know if 'ornery' is a 'real' word; but 'beck' and 'teen' both qualify

No, its from a crossword puzzle book, and Ive done similar ones so you can tell which words wouldnt be used.

Actually I just noticed it wouldnt work anyway bc u have one too many words. You have to arrive at TACO in 6 steps, yours would be 7. Your right though beck is fine.

7 words = 6 steps

The first word is the starting point ( 0 steps)
