In a word meld, you are given one word to try to change into another, one step at a time. Each step consists of changing one letter of the word into another while still having a true English word. For example, one step would be to change the word "PIE" to "PIT." Another step could change "PIT" to "POT," and so on.

What is the fewest number of steps in which you can change "LONE" to "WOLF"?

L O N E

W O L F

(I did it in 6 steps)

The trick in these (in my opinion) is to do them without "wierd" words like gond and wold... (If you have to explain the word, it's probably wierd)

LONE
BONE
BOND
BOLD
GOLD
GOLF
WOLF

Trying to use the most common words (like LONE BONE BOND BOLD instead of LONE HONE HOLD BOLD) is good in my opinion.
