how to play transformers

You must create a chain of words that connect the given start and end words. Each word in the chain must be connected to the word before through any of the 4 valid transformations listed below.

The example connects "CAT" to "EAR" with each of the 4 types of valid transformations.

A green circle next to a word means it is a valid dictionary word. A green circle between words means it is a valid transformation. A green circle does not necessarily mean the word is part of the correct chain. You cannot reuse a word in the chain.
