From Led to Leader

Posted on July 11, 2012August 11, 2014 by LHP

This came up in a text I was editing for AMEX OPENForum. The copy read “reign”, but the writer meant “rein” and it got me to thinking. How many other words can be made into their antonyms — or nearly so — with the addition of a single letter?

Prefixes and suffixes don’t count.
