Word Meld and Weld (Posted on 2004-12-06) Difficulty: 2 of 5

Word meld and weld is slightly different from previous puzzles of this nature.
In this puzzle you have to get from the word SISTER to the word BROTHER.
The rules are simple, either change a letter, add a letter or remove a letter.
The only proviso is that each word created must be a genuine English word.

Here are some more to try

BLACK
:
:
WHITE

NIGHT
:
:
DAY

HUNGRY
:
:
THIRSTY

Can you find any other such word meld/welds that go from one word to its opposite?

Solution Here's a superefficient one | Comment 3 of 48 |

Juggler asked, "Can you find any other such word meld/welds that go from one word to its opposite?"

You'll never find a faster one than this:

From OVERSIGHT (1. An unintentional omission or mistake, as in "My 20th move in that chess game was an incredible oversight")

To OVERSIGHT (2. Watchful care or management; supervision; as in "A Congressional oversight committee should ensure that no financial mistakes are made".)

In zero steps.
