Stumped! I can only make a new word by making two changes - not the allowable one.

What now?

Eleven letters is the danger zone. Tough word too. You missed your one year lasting Scrabble thread surprise party.

Sometimes a noun can be contrived made from an adjective.

Guns can be aimed through a gunsight, but not all guns have them. I have some of each kind. The ones without are not very useful. Please throw out all the UNSIGHTEDS.

even though it's obvious - drop the S

UNSIGHTED

and let's proceed from here.

Challenge: find a next word that starts with an A. Nine letters, two syllables.

If I didn't know better I'd speculate this chain was

DESIGNED to be shedding letters back down to a

more manageable level.

Oh no! I'm ruined! I need MORE letters, not fewer, and I needed all those I already had (and not a Y...). Can anyone help fix it?
