Lewis Carroll's game of "Word Golf" or "Doublets" requires you to build a chain of words between two given words, changing only a single letter at a time. I had heard that going from OUNCE to POUND was impossible, but I persisted. The solution I found relies heavily on two Scottish dialect words, "DUNCH" (a nudge with the elbow), and "CAULD" (a spelling of "cold"). The other words in the chain are more legitimate.
ounce
dunce
dunch
bunch
bunco
bunko
bunks
bulks
balks
calks
calls
cauls
cauld
could
would
wound
pound
