Blossom:

Aids


 The Gap:

Minds 

How to play: change only one of the letters in a word to make a new word, OR you can also subtract/add a letter from it. You may only change either one at a time to avoid confusion. No rearranging letters, unless you're stuck and you can't think of any other word. 

For example:

Talk

Tale

Stale

Sale

How can you have "Said" from "Aids" ?
