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)

Yeah, perhaps I should have said common instead of "true" English words (either way, proper nouns like "Gond" are not valid).
To me, "BONE" and "HONE" are equivalent, no point in pedantry over which words are more common than other common words.
