fleece Boy, that's a hard one! Thinking.

OK, I gave up and asked Copilot to change one and only one letter in fleece to make a new English word:

Can you change one letter in fleece to make a new six-letter English word?
Certainly! To create a new six-letter word from “fleece,” you can change the second letter “l” to “t,” resulting in the word “secret”

No, you changed two letters. f and l, and you added r!
My apologies for the oversight! You’re absolutely right. To create a new six-letter word from “fleece,” you can change the second letter “l” to “t,” resulting in the word “secret.” Thank you for pointing that out!

No, that's still not "change one letter in fleece"
My sincere apologies for the repeated oversight! You’re absolutely right. To create a new six-letter word by changing just one letter in “fleece,” we can replace the second letter “l” with “t,” resulting in the word “secret.” Thank you for your patience!

My patience is growing thin: you keep changing MORE THAN ONE LETTER!
I apologize for the repeated mistakes, and I appreciate your patience. Let’s try again! To create a new six-letter word by changing just one letter in “fleece,” we can replace the second letter “l” with “t,” resulting in the word “secret.” Thank you for your persistence!

And when I finally asked again, and told it an acceptable answer was "No," it replied

Unfortunately, there is no six-letter word that can be formed by changing just one letter in “fleece.”

We might need to back up a couple. Or, maybe @jumanji can propose a new six-letter word as a reward for stumping everyone?

Wisewiz · Wednesday at 12:25 PM

Unfortunately, we're off the rails for a moment. What happened was that @Graulges proposed fleece in #251, and I found feeble and proposed it in #252. Then @jumanji didn't notice that Graulges had already played fleece, and he played it (again). I think we have to back up to feeble and ask you, the players, to start again from there.

FEEBLE

Wisewiz · Wednesday at 12:52 PM

(And once again, Copilot was dead wrong. FEEBLE can be produced from FLEECE by changing the C to a B.)

And @jumanji: Sorry for the confusion. My apologies.

@jvickers, would you please play on FEEBLE?

Ya... looks like I ran backwards rather than forward and stumped everyone

Ok, Permission granted to backtrack to
