| Take a letter. Add one more letter. Then add another
letter. At every stage the letters must form a normal word (no acronyms, slang or proper
names). Example:
A
AT
CAT
COAT
ACTOR
FACTOR
FACTORY
You may be able to extend the above example even further. Otherwise see
if you can beat the seven stages illustrated with an example of your own.
