What do the following words have in common?
spy, babe, tree, wavy, skate, loyal, steep, ponder
Here are all the possible words that can be made from each of these words, by changing a single letter into another single letter (and the letters used):
spy:
?py: - -
s?y: say shy sky sly soy sty a h k l o
sp?: spa a
babe:
?abe - -

ba?e bade bake bale bane bare base bate d k l n r s t

.. Nothing is still apparent, there is no single letter that could be used in all of the words in any spot, let alone in the same position. So, I haven't looked at anything else, but I'm still clueless..
