There are probably shortcuts that would have been better, but that took me a while to figure out.

I forgot to suggest a new puzzle

What about MONKEY ----> SHINES ?


ETA: P.S., I'm sure I could use some hints how to do these puzzles more efficiently ... I think my answers tend to go around the block a few times.

I think monkey ---> donkey doesn't go anywhere, so monkey ---> shines is probably out.

maybe an Irish PEAT ---> FIRE instead ?

Various ways to do that, but I can't make it shorter than this without giving it more thought, and I'm lazy.

PEAT
MEAT
MOAT
MOLT
MOLE
MILE
MIRE
FIRE

Did we do SOBER :rarrow: DRUNK already?

Spoilering 'cause I think the first step is too long and y'all can do better. Plus I'm too lazy to come up with the next one.
