Yeah, there were a few times the "one change only" rule was overlooked or forgotten. In the interest of keeping the game fun, we kept going.

>PARTY cannot become TRAMPS because that is making two changes - deleting the Y and adding the M.

PARTY cannot become TRAMPS because that is making two changes - changing Y to M swapping M for Y and adding S!
