A chairde,
Have been trying to come up with some doublets i.e. trying to turn one word into another by changing one letter at a time and making a new word each time. Hopefully too trying to make a connection between the first word and the last word. Think Lewis Carroll came up with this game. Heres the only one I can manage so far!
fear / lear / lean / bean

Ana dheas. Níl scil ar bith agam i rudaí mar seo, ach táim cinnte go bhfuil níos mó ann. An ceadmhach an litir san ionad céanna a athrú faoi dhó?

Is dócha go bhfuil cead agat. The idea is that you only change one letter at a time. Better too if theres a connection between the initial and final words, but it's not essential.
Thanks for that one Brídmhór.
Heres another from Lewis Carroll.

pig - sty:
pig / wig / wag / way / say / sty

Tine to Gual would be a good one but I can't do it!

An bhfuil a leithéid d'fhocal agus 'line' ann seachas 'líne'?

Ní dóigh liom go bhfuil srian ar líon na n-iompaithe.

Meastú an gá sínte fada a chuir san áireamh mar athrú?

Iontach maith, a Ormondo.
A Dmd, chuaigh tú ó "fear" go "bean" in dhá chéim. Caidé fá "saor" > "daor" in aon chéim amháin? HahaLOL
