Stemming
From Countdown
Stemming is a technique whereby one valid word plus a letter equals another valid word.
Although not considered the most useful technique, it can be handy for common words and fruitful stems.
The most fruitful "stems" are ANTSIER/NASTIER/RETAINS/RETINAS/RETSINA/STAINER/STEARIN and ENTIRES/ENTRIES/NERITES/TRIENES, which stem with 18 of the 26 letters of the alphabet, as detailed below:
