I'm going to forgo the obvious once again (boaster) and change the A to E for
RESTORE.

I believe TEA ROSE is invalid (two words), so it's back to KERATOSE

simple scramble>> STREAKS (lines, marks ) As streaks left by skates on ice. I've got all the glorious details on skating matters somewhere, but I forgot which thread )
I've searched for repetitions and found striker already so the I-side might lead to repeats.

Yes, but it's STAKE without the final S if you want to apply it to a single LDS parish.

couldn't find BEGARRING in onelook.com - did you mean BEGGARING?

but I'll take BEGARRING gladly nevertheless,
because then I can exchange G for H and make

HARBINGER

and that reminds me of Spring :-)

Though some still are harboring HARROWING images of snow walls. B=W

BTW coffeebean, this game is wonderful to quiet down round-age-10 children without taking refuge to TV or computergames. Four-letter words, they really love to do it. No pen or paper needed. Absolutely gratis.
