Week 2, Puzzle 3

[Super Silver Haze]

Arrange the eight 4-letter words below so that you can go through each word in the list in order, taking exactly 4 steps to get from each word to the next, by changing one letter and forming a common English word at each step. Also, if a word has at least one letter in common with a word immediately following or preceding it in the eight-word list, then it cannot have any letters in common with the other word next to it (if there is another word next to it); lastly, the first word in the list we want comes later alphabetically than the last word. For the solution, take the first letter of each word, in the order you end up listing them in.
