Happy Monday! Here's a little twist on the word ladders I've posted in the past... Click on through!
This puzzle starts with a 9 letter word that I think even my horse Bloggy knows the answer to.
After you solve that first rung, you subtract 1 letter and the answer to the following rung will be an anagram of the remaining 8 letters, all of which are contained in the previous word you just answered with. Then each following rung of the ladder loses 1 letter until you get to a 1 letter word (which again even Bloggy could solve, I bet).
Then the answer words on the following rungs add 1 letter each time, until you finish with the same word you started with. Simple? Well, some of the words are terribly easy, but I hope some of them might present a challenge! Bloggy gave up on several (like the Shakespeare ones), but then again, he's more familiar with George Bernard Shaw, so I understand his frustration.
Can you unscramble the words in the Heartland Hourglass Word Ladder?
