Use the clues below, listed alphabetically, to come up with a word ladder. Once all of the clues are solved correctly and placed in the right order each subsequent word will change by one letter without anagramming. The first word in the string will have some type of relationship with the last word.
5 Letters
-1. city division, fry (as meat), outlaw, sing, color, something ridiculous, timepiece, type of molding
4 Letters
-2. achievement, escape, gratis, happiness, terror, type of college "house", worry
-3. donate, gardening tool, point of view, praise, tear
-4. drudge, half of table tennis?, part of a hammer, ruler, wets, writes, wrestling victories
-5. broad, determination, hike, jaunt, trick or cunning strategy, word with street or paper
-6. Attila followers, color, colossal, diminutive, kisses partner, stalk, tip
-7. Anjou or Bosc, burn, join (as carpet), reddish purple color, run-down city area, word with grand or dunk
Did you ever stop to think and then forget to start again?

7. pear, sear, seam, plum, slum, slam pear, sear, seam, slam, slum, plum
pear & plum = fruit

Sometimes lost is where you need to be. Just because you don't know your direction doesn't mean you don't have one.
