    Gleek
    Bleek

    I know those middle three are probably questionable. (i.e., is that how you spell gleek or bleak, I think not. Also, I think Bleck only counts if you are Charles Schulz.) :)

  2. Gary: …as the noise Lucy made after getting kissed on the lips by Snoopy, eh?

  3. I always thought that was spelled BLECH!
    Germs! Disease! Infection! AAAH!

  5. I got it by:

    Green
    Greek
    Creek
    Creak
    Break
    bleck
    black

    And I checked, bleck is a word.

  12. I did it the same way as Alex, except the word chack (to not broadcast a medal-winning or otherwise memorable or crucial figure skating performance) saves the chick/click steps.

  13. My results are the same as ones “posted by dave on 9-4-2008 at 9:26 am”. Point is I, too, learned bleck is a word.

  14. If bleck counts,

    GREEN
    GREEK
    CREEK
    CREAK
    BREAK
    BLEAK
    BLECK
    BLACK

  15. If we can use bleck,

    GREEN
    GREEK
    CREEK
    CREAK
    BREAK
    BLEAK
    BLECK
    BLACK
