Scrambled Words

[Scrapporreia]

Here is a word game: Take the word above yours. Scramble it, add a letter or take away a letter and make a new word (try not to hyphenate unless you're desperate). You can add AND take away one letter or just add or just take away. Words must have at least 3 letters.

If you get really stuck, you may make 2 words

I'll start (obviously lol):

Bookcase

I'd love to play but I'm not sure I understand. we swap ONE letter, or can we take away one letter, or add one letter, or both?
Could you think up an example to show us, for instance one word, and what can be done with it?

oooh, I think I just got it...!!!
