World of Word Ladders – Volume 2: Over 100 word puzzles (also known as doublets or laddergrams) to test or improve spelling, vocabulary and thinking skills

Word ladders are a wonderful pastime. These puzzles are neither tough nor easy. They have the right balance between exercising the brain and having fun. They can challenge a kid’s thinking ability, spelling skills and vocabulary. For an adult, they are pure fun. What are Word Ladders: A word ladder has a word on the first and last rungs. 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. None of the words you write can be a proper noun (name of people, places and such), abbreviation (short forms) or a non-English foreign word (loan word). Foreign-origin words that have gone native are all right. An example is lat, which stands for the latissimus dorsi muscle. If you can solve the ladder with less number of words than given in the ladder, consider that as a win. In this book You can go through this word ladder book several times. Just use a pencil and eraser. Next to each word ladder is its solution. The solution is obscured to protect the challenge. You may need to use a hand lens to decipher it. There is a glossary of obscure words at the end of the book for your reference.
