A ‘complete’ word is a word in which every letter, in turn, can
be replaced by another to form a new word.
For example, SEND is a complete word because:
Starting with SEND we can replace the S with an L to make
LEND
Starting with SEND we can replace the E with an A to make
SAND
Starting with SEND we can replace the N with an E to make
SEED
Starting with SEND we can replace the D with a T to make
SENT.
Which 2 of the following words are not complete words?
HARD
PORT
DUCK
HANG
BAIL
MAST
THIN
LEAN
FIRE
