Word evolution
 

I found this on another forum where it has survived almost 600 iterations so far. I figure we can outperform them. Here are the rules of the game:

You start off with a word (which I'll supply), and then you have to transform it. You can do so by four methods:

1) Rearranging the letters, e.g. desserts => stressed
2) Adding a letter, e.g. floor => floors
3) Taking away a letter, e.g. melt => met
4) Switching one letter for another, e.g. house => horse

You are not allowed to do 2, 3, or 4 at the same time, but you can do 1 in conjunction with either of the remaining three options.

The first person will transform my word, then the person after that will transform the previous person's word, and so on.

First word:

sneak

ill take the easiest option and go with

Hey Chruser, does this rule, "4) Switching letters, e.g. house => horse," mean that if I had the word dawn that I could switch it to dick since it's the same amount of letters. Or did you mean that you could only switch one letter.

Beans

Bane

And I'm pretty sure it's only meant to be one letter.

Only one for another. Otherwise, it would have been pointless to state that #1 can be used in conjunction with #4, as #4 would then supplant the transformations of #1. But I'll edit the post anyway for extra clarity.
