Manny the Juggler 2
Language
Language brain teasers are those that involve the English language. You need to think about and manipulate words and letters.Language
Manny has temporarily given up trying to juggle five objects and has decided to go back to his four-object comfort zone. With his pal Lenny helping him by exchanging one letter with Manny at a time, he will now switch from BALL juggling to CLUB juggling using nine total letter-objects in eight steps!
Can you go from BALL to CLUB in 8 steps? You may change one letter in one spot per step to make a new common word. (Example- craB could become craM in one step)
IMPORTANT- Manny used only nine total letter-objects (you already know six- B,A,L,L,C and U) so you can only use these and three other letters in your journey.

Answer
B-A-L-L1. B-E-L-L
2. B-E-L-T
3. F-E-L-T
4. F-E-A-T
5. F-L-A-T
6. F-L-A-B
7. F-L-U-B
8. C-L-U-B
The other three letters used are E, F, and T
"BEAT" is an acceptable replacement for "FELT" in this order, and there's also the possibility of starting with BALL, FALL, FELL, FELT, etc.
