anagram:
A word or phrase formed by reordering the letters of another word or phrase, such as satin to stain.
Rearrange the letters of the word from the last post to make a new word. To keep new words coming in, one letter at a time may optionally either be added or removed from the previous word.
(changing letters doesn't work because it is actually dropping one letter and adding one letter on the same turn)
English only, no proper nouns or acronyms.

I don't know. I wrote "may" for letters being added or removed. I think it can be optional. The only thing is that eventually letters will have to be added or removed because otherwise we would run out of arrangements for a set of letters.

I think proper nouns might be too broad... weird letter combinations could be claimed to be obscure names or places. But I'm just modifying this as it goes and I didn't post anything about it originally so I'll work with this.
