2. My error. They were counting “grown” to “brown” as step six; I was only counting the five steps in between.

   But it still beats seven!!

7. Brown
   Grown
   Grewn

   “Grewn” is the English pronunciation of the German word for green. (Hey, if Valerie gets to have Broon, I get to have Grewn.)

8. Here’s the first solution I came up with:

   GREEN
   GREED
   CREED
   CREW’D
   CROWD
   CROWN
   BROWN

   I didn’t know if that would fly, but around here, apparently, anything goes… *wink*
