    I suppose that there are several common words whose letters can't be rearranged into another common word. Find a common word with more than

    letter was removed or added. For a definition of "common words", use the average college dictionary of the English language. For additional challenge, find a word with more than three letters that has no anagram even if up to two letters can be added or removed.
