And let's not leave out
hate / have / hove / love .
( btw - hove is past tense of 'heave' if anyone was saying, 'whaaaaa ?' )

One from me though it's not right answer....as it is not the shortest: HATE, DATE, DOTE, DOVE, LOVE

I guess shortest 2 intermediate words (and total 4). Any better ones???
