  1. FOOT
    SOOT
    SHOT
    SHOE

  2. aw, this one was easy. I usually suck at word ladders too.

  3. I agree, I never get these puzzles, but this one was cake.

  4. yeah, this was a no-brainer.

  5. Well, yesterday’s was a head-scratcher, so I figured hump-day was the day to spring an easier one. It helps that both words share the “O” in the 3rd spot.

  6. I got it, but different word in the third position.

    Foot
    Soot
    Shop
    Shoe

  7. Sorry, Trichia, but soot > shop requires 2 moves (soot > shot > shoe).

  8. Tricia, sorry, but that’s wrong. You changed two letters in word #3.

  9. No, she changed one only

    from Shot to Shoe reguires only the t change to an e.

    You changed SOOT to SHOP — requiring two letters to change O to H and T to P. Not allowed.

  10. A little too easy. I had it in under 20 seconds.
