Alternatively, to turn BABE into SWAT, consider

BABE
BARE
BARD
BAND
BEND
SEND
SENT [iedited in 11/25]
SEAT
SWAT

Is there a shorter path?

SWAT the BABE, and you'll spoil your future (esp. if Children's Svcs gets wind of it)

How about
BABE
BARE
WARE
WART
SWAT ? ..but also BABE, BASE,SWAB,SWAT
..or BABE,BASE,TASE, SWAT or BABE,BASE,STAB,SWAT

re: BABE to SWAT: if you'll notice, no re-arrangement is involved, only changing a single letter to make a new word. Have another look!

You have left out SENT, so the following is shorter:

BABE
BALE
BALL
BELL
BELT
BEAT
SEAT
SWAT

Before we leave this thread, can you please explain the relevance of BABE and SWAT? Swat in Pakistan?

Incidentally, did you know that there is a town in Swat called Odigram? Sounds like a kind of word game, or something from the 'Mensopause' thread...
