MINOR
There are many children out there in the world that would no longer wish to be a geeky MINOR, but would rather be counted among the cool DUDES. This is a process that we can do here in only 5 steps. Can you figure out what to change? Each change is one letter only and is a valid word in each case.

also works if you change miner to mines and then to dines. Easy but good for thick people like me who need some easy ones so we don't get dis-heartened
It kind of takes the fun out of it when you give a hint for something that should be done mentally, and has no room for errors..
Sometimes you gotta throw a bone to let people feel good about getting one quick. Glad you liked it though.
I love theses kidsn of puzzles. not very hard, but still fun.
My thoughts exactly nicisan...
Great!
The part that makes it the easiest is the fact that you have to change one letter to the final word because of the number of steps. That gave it away for me. **don't read this next bit if you're still trying to solve** For example, the first word had to be either "dinor", "muner", "mider", "miner" or "minos". As only miner is a real word, it has to be that. The same pattern follows for the next word. You keep working it out in this way and you get to the answer quite quickly. Good teaser though... easy and fun
haha this is stupid I did this in third grade
Joking about my last comment
"dinor", "muner", "mider", "miner" or "minos"-
I agree with tiptoes007berbs and nicisan... I did the exact same thing!
