Turning "Queen" into "Kings"

[Confuzzled4]

I'm not sure this is possible, but it's an idea for another game if people like the concept and can come up with different words. By changing one letter at a time, transform the word "Queen" into the word "Kings" with each letter replacement forming a new word in standard English. Each poster is allowed one transformation per post.

I'm going to try another post with more reasonable words, a q word makes it impossible.
