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?

According to the Scrabble Dictionary (and some programming) there are no eligible 5, 6, or 7 letter words that can be made from hungry and any arbitrary letter. Even if we go to Hungary, no other 6, 7 or 8 letter word can be made.

Either it's a trick or I'm missing something.
