    since trig's been using proper nouns, i'll assume this one's okay:

    Sneedly

    [I never read Captain Underpants myself. It was my brother's books. Yup.]

    Nice, I like that word.

    I can't think of anything that doesn't need two changes >.>

    Like Specify drops both the e and d and adds c, you make this game too challenging Marina :p

    Specify

    One letter at a time, or rearrange the existing letters; that's all, and not both in one move.

    And if you break the rules, ummm, welllll, then you are a bad monkey...

    We're only misbehaved monkeys :) Bad implies we had negative intents.

    I'll go back to one change though.

    I have a word that follows the rules, but it's a provocative word.

    It involves changing 'ni' to 'in'

    Figure it out and come up with the next word :)

    We're more like desperate monkeys, lol.

    And Trigger, just how is the word INSECT provocative? ;)

    ...INSECT...

    hmm, my brain doesn't want to work anymore anagrams tonight, so I shall say:

    INSECTS

    Inspects

    (Adding the 's' was clever by the way.)
