WORD MORPHS_!

__If you're not familiar with Word Morphs, let me give you an example of one ~ I am going to turn the word SICK into the word WELL, by changing one letter in the word SICK at a time. Ya with me? -- SICK - SILK - SILL - SELL - WELL. How's that for excitement?! (Please don't drool on the carpet.) This isn't really a contest and you don't have to send me anything. I'm just gonna list some word sets and you can try to morph the first word into the last. I'll be a sport about it and tell you how many inbetween words are involved. Some of these I got from GAMES magazine, but most of them - especially the longer, witty ones - I made up. Occasionally yer buddy Rogue gets obsessed with these kinda things, see. It's all those planets in Virgo. One more thing - if you become similarly obsessed and create some cool Word Morphs of yer own, send them to me. I will post them here and give you credit for them.* Or you could challenge me by creating some and NOT giving me the solution; see if I can figure 'em out. And YES - the solutions to each Morph are at the very bottom. Whadiya think, I'm a sadist?!

EAST into WEST (2) - Remember, the "2" means there are two words that go between EAST and WEST to complete the Morph. Keep in mind that you can change only ONE letter at a time and that the letters must stay in the same place in the word. For example, you could change EAST into EASE or EASY, but not into EATS. Also, the first few are the easiest ; they get progressively more challenging. Hey, isn't that part of what you come to the Underground for?!
