The difference between the right word and the almost right word is the difference between lightning and the lightning bug.

The base word is Startling - starting - staring - string - sting - sing - sin - in - I

 
STARTLING
- L = STARTING
- T = STARING
- A = STRING
- R = STING
- T = SING
- G = SIN
- S = IN
-N = I
