WRONGEST
change S to I
TOWERING
We ought to be able to go on from there. But not the only one! ORANGEST (W --> A) ESTROGEN (W --> E) STURGEON (W --> U) STRONGER (W --> R) SONGSTER (W --> S) And those are just replacing the W. There must be tons more, but I got tired... So, no stalemate, Fauve! :0)

add an F
FLOWERING
Sorry for the many posts: Just learning how to edit. Hope this
works. If not, I'll try better: Hope no one is offended. And
I am not interested in running up a posting score: I gave up
competition when I retired. It's too tiring.

drop the W and it's FOREIGN
It is the thread that never ends -
it just goes on and on, my friends.
Somebody started posting here not knowing what it was,
and we'll continue posting here forever just because
it is the thread that never ends . . .

...the thread that never ends -

You started here, not knowing what it was,
and we'll be posting here
forever and a year;
it is the thread, the thread that never ends . . .
FOREIGN
Or, you could just drop the F and
IGNORE the whole thing...

I could be wrong, but I can't come up with anything after WRONGEST.
Can anyone else? Does that mean FallibleFiend won the game!
I've never been around when we've arrived at a stalemate. Cool. I don't know which was wrongest - Fauve's mistake in going from wrongest to strongest, or the word 'wrongest' itself! Oh wait a minute I just pulled the rug from under me didn't I...

Just to try to get this back down to manageable levels I'll commandeer two steps, and trust that someone after me will continue:
APPLETIZERS
drop a P and get
PLASTERIZE
change the Z to an S and get
PSALTERIES
