I know it's spelt wrong but it's too enticing to resist -
change M to S and jump to SOMERSALT.
(A two-step change L->H and M->G gives us HOGMASTER!)

...Umm, I think that may have to be disqualified - to get from LATINISM to TASMANIAN you need to change an I to an N, change the L to a second A, and add yet another A. Only one change allowed! Try again? LATINISMAdd S and get STALINISM Writing out the change will help you stick to the roolz.

Now I know where to find this link: under scrabble.
Are there rules, or is it too far gone to make sense of it???

The Roolz are:
You may
1) add a letter OR
2) remove a letter OR
3) change a letter
AND THEN
4) scramble the new set of letters into a new word.
Thus:
MALAISE
drop the E
MISSAL

Quite right. Sorry 'bout that. Couldn't see straight; too much snow. Will the Chair permit me to amend the motion?
MALAISE
drop an A
MESIAL (at least, that's what my dentist says)

Melisma is a musical term for singing many notes on one syllable. An example would be chant or "Amen".

MELISMA - think of the word "purify" in "And He Shall Purify" from Handel's Messiah, or the word "born" from "For Unto Us a Child is Born," or "easy" in "His Yoke is Easy," or "turned" from "All We, Like Sheep."
MELISMA
change an M to an R and get
REALISM

Never knew this music term existed. Looked up the Dutch word.
Quite SIMULAR (E change to U); melisme. (from Greek)
