When you were in your early school years, you can remember when you had a CRUSH on that cute girl sitting nearby. The only problem comes when you say something stupid and she SLAPS your face. Try to get from CRUSH to SLAPS in 5 steps by making a word each time.
Beginning with "de", add letters from the given pool to create a seven-letter word which means "to withhold something". Do not rearrange the letters as you go.

The hint gives definitions/clues for each additional word, except for the last word.
Beginning with the word "in," add one letter from the given pool to create a new word until you get a seven-letter word meaning "being in a state of suppressed agitation, worry, or resentment."
