Silliness Change One Letter to get to the target word - Page 16

orlok · 08-21-2011, 06:56 AM

amp --> tamp

pdurrant · 08-21-2011, 07:20 AM

tamp -> temp

Javed · 08-21-2011, 07:23 AM

temp > tempt

pdurrant · 08-21-2011, 07:25 AM

tempt -> empt

pdurrant · 08-22-2011, 09:30 AM

empt -> empty.

(I left it for someone else to finish off, but perhaps none of you want to set the next pair of words?

)

The whole chain:

FULL -> Bull ->Bell -> Belt -> Bent -> Bet -> met -> Meet -> meat -> eat -> at -> am -> amp -> tamp -> temp -> tempt -> empt ->EMPTY

An easier one this time.

PLAIN to HILL.

pdurrant · 08-23-2011, 04:28 AM

hail -> hall

Javed · 08-23-2011, 05:06 AM

hall > hill

I would like to suggest trying to get from letter to number.

It sounds possible, but not easy. Let's give it a go.

letter -> litter

The Terminator · 08-23-2011, 10:52 PM

Sitter
