Change 1 Letter Word Game

[Caballero]

^^Did not even notice that we had the same thought at the same time yesterday. Apologies for the dupe.

Great minds clearly think alike.

[BigBirdFinger]

That's right. I am wondering if I boxed us in with: STRIP.
As to the rules of the game, can you add a letter? Would that count as changing only one letter? Or to keep within the boundaries, do we have to keep the word as 5 letters?
