Letter Hop 3
Language
Language brain teasers are those that involve the English language. You need to think about and manipulate words and letters.Language
In Letter Hop, letters "hop" from one word to the next.
For each word in the list (except the first word), form two new valid words firstly by adding a letter which is removed from the previous word, then secondly by removing a different letter to form the second new valid word. This letter that is removed must then be added to the next word in the list. The removal of the letter from the first word in the list must also result in a new valid word. The sequence of the existing letters in each word must not be changed.
For example, given:
1. SINGE
2. RIND
3. MEANER
the answer would be:
1. SINGE - G = SINE
2. RIND + G = (G)RIND - D = GRIN
3. MEANER + D = MEAN(D)ER - A = MENDER
Good luck!

3. WAR
4. DAFT
5. MEN
Answer
1. WITCH - C = WITH2. DIE + C = DI(C)E - D = ICE
3. WAR + D = WAR(D) - R = WAD
4. DAFT + R = D(R)AFT - D = RAFT
5. MEN + D = MEN(D) - M = END
