Word Ladders

You solve these Word Ladders by changing one letter in the first word to form a new word and then repeat the process until you spell the ending word. The number of letter-change moves it took me follows each clue...I'll bet some of you can do it in less moves



Example: To change Mice into Rats I made 4 moves...

mice -1-> mite -2-> mate -3-> mats -4-> rats


= 1. pane burr [4]
= 2. whew suer [4]
= 3. dead duck [5]
= 4. true blue [5]
= 5. black sheep [7]
= 6. acid test [9]

1. pane, pare, pure, purr, burr

You got the first one ManxMan

5. black sheep

blank bland blend bleed bleep sleep sheep

2. whew, shew, shed, sued, suer

4. true grue glue blue

6. acid, arid, grid, grit, gait, gast, gest, test

New record counts by Cue and Michele for 4 and 6 .. all solutions are spot on

Happy Halloween

3. dead, bead, beak, beck, buck, duck

Well done Michele .. nice finish!
