Really? You've lived a sheltered life :D

Target: Prune

Nupes>>> PRUNE

New target: Dizzy (That should be fun!)

Sadly I have to refer you back to the first post of the thread:
As this version will likely be harder at times to reach the target there is one additional rule to limit the difficulty - any target word can never contain more than one, if any, of "Z", "X", "Q" or "J".
.... but since Keith has since abandoned us, I'm willing to give it a try if you are :)

Sorry Neil, DIZZY is the target, you have to start from PRUNE.

So Prune >>> Prude for example.

It was a (not very good) horror film from last year.

I agree though, it would be better to have more 'normal' words. No offence Neil.
