About this quiz
A word ladder turns one word into another a single letter at a time. Here every rung has a clue, and the word above tells you all but one of the letters.
- There are 15 rungs, so the ladder makes 14 one letter changes.
- Each rung has its own clock of 30 seconds. When it runs out the word is shown and the next clue appears.
- Letters never move: a step swaps one letter for another and leaves the rest where they are.
