Step to Pest

PEST is an anagram of STEP. LIVE is an anagram of VEIL. Morph STEP into PEST by changing one letter at a time. Do the same for VEIL and LIVE. The catch is that the VEIL-LIVE morphing must be part of the STEP-PEST morphing. Each step must produce a valid word in the English language. No word can be used more than once.

STEP ----> VEIL ----> LIVE ----> PEST

  5. It all depends on your billing structure, I suppose. Congrats on being in charge, though. How can you afford the insurance rates, these days?
