What is paragram?

A paragram is a type of wordplay that involves changing one or more letters in a word to create a new word or phrase. It is a type of anagram, which is a reordering of letters to create a new word or phrase. However, in a paragram, only one or a few letters are changed, rather than all the letters. Paragrams can be used for humorous effect or as a form of creative writing and can be found in crossword puzzles and other word games. They require a good knowledge of vocabulary and spelling to be created effectively. Some famous examples of paragrams include "leopard" changed to "leotard" and "listen" transformed into "silent."
