Change One Sound, Make a New Word

Here is a word magic trick: change one sound and you get a new word! Start with cat. Change /c/ to /h/: hat.

Now change the last sound of cat, /t/, to /p/: cap! Changing the middle works too: hat becomes hot.

Play with your grown-up: say a word, swap one sound, and see what new word appears.
