Taken from the A-Z thread, because this is quite a tricky one.
A word association is a common thing that links two words, such as "sea" and "the letter c" (sound the same), "speed" and "friday the thirteenth" (both films), "Kerry Holmes" and "running" (Kerry holmes runs),
The game is to get from one word to the other by a chain of associated words, eg Sea->Port->Gin->Chess (Ports are Sea harbours, Port and Gin are alcoholic drinks, Gin and Chess are games.
So, the challenge is, via just two more intermediate words, get from "Veni, Vidi, Vici" to mint.
Good luck!

one phase consists of rearranging the letters, adding one letter anywhere in the word, or removing any one letter.
after each phase, you must have a real word. spaces are not allowed.
can anybody get from "grass" to "weed"?
sags
seas
sees
seed
weed
