METAPHORS

T --> E

SEMAPHORE

(Actually I'd prefer to work the wordlength down a bit by dropping the final E,
but -phor has 1.7 gHits and -phore 8.6, so by popular demand SEMAPHORE it is...)

I worked 45 minutes on the last one: I agree.
Go to it, knock out a few letter, change some, whatever,
it is really not too much fun as it is.
