uh-oh! i think we backed ourselves into a corner! i can find no word that can be made from "roosts" by adding or deleting only one letter!
a couple possibilities, adding two letters:
roosters
provosts
another, removing two:
rots
backing up, i would have goen from "roots" to "rots", getting rid of that double "o" which is now causing so much trouble.
what now?

Hell, I've been trying to make it as difficult as possible all the time.
About time... start a new one.

Oh come on. The challenge is not finding dead ends, as there are lots of these; it's getting a long chain going without any repetition.

How about: hand

How bout Bandy Roost? Pick one or either... or neither. Then combine the two and go with "Boost" or "Randy"
