World Of Word Ladders
::: by Ólafía L. Óla :::
Improve your kids' thinking ability, spelling skills and vocabulary
A word ladder has a diagram of a ladder with a word on both the first and last rung. The blanks on the middle rungs are for you to complete.
- One and only one letter needs to change in each blank rung of the ladder so that the first word is transformed into the last word.
-
Your words CANNOT be
- a proper noun (name of people, places and such),
- abbreviation (short forms), or
- words of foreign, dialectal, slang or colloquial origin. Words that have gone native are all right.
Here are some examples:
- C-A-T » C-O-T » C-O-G » D-O-G
- L-A-S-T » L-O-S-T » L-O-S-E » H-O-S-E » H-O-P-E
This book series has two paperback volumes. Each volume has an almost equal split in the number of three-letter and four-letter word ladders.
