21 tries.  Hah!  Heck, I could probably do it in two!   WAR -- *ALCHEMY* -- PEACE!  Wink

Well looks like dictionary helped make the transition.

Have you tried getting from the bedroom to the kitchen? I was reminded of Shakespeare.

I just wanted to help show that they were valid words that I used.  The one I'm currently stumped on is LION to TIGER.

LIN
LIG
LIGE
LIGER
TIGER

5 moves, but it somehow seems to me that could be smaller, if I could generate a move without losing that initial letter.

Yes I have 4 and don't use less the 4 letters.

LIEN -- why my brain was frazzling on this conversion, I dunno.  Tongue
LIER 
LIGER
TIGER

I went metric with LITER Smile

PAPER TIGER in less than 4? (4 I have 2 ways)

RE: Alchemy is fixed! - SMcNeill - 11-24-2022

How does LITER get you there in 4 moves?

PAPER
TAPER
TAGER
TIGER  <-- 3 moves

LITER instead of LIGER

My dictionary wouldn't allow TAGER

Kinda ironical

So swapping letters (t and g) and replacing a with i, is all one move?  I thought you only change 1 element per turn?
