Download or read book Word Ladders written by Clarity Media and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2012-12-07 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Welcome to this fantastic collection of 100 word ladder puzzles. Word ladders are fun and entertaining word puzzles that are a real test of your vocabulary. The rules of word ladders are deceptively simple. All you need to do is move from the word at the top of the ladder to the word at the bottom of the ladder in the stated number of steps, placing a new word on each rung of the ladder. As you move down the ladder, the rule is that you can only change one letter at a time, and you cannot shuffle the order of any of the letters. For instance, you can move from 'MORE' to 'MOVE', here changing the 'R' for a 'V'. However, 'MORE' to 'LOVE' isn't valid as here you are swapping two letters when you are only allowed to swap one. Of course, each word you make must be in the dictionary, so you couldn't move from 'MORE' to 'MZRE' for instance. That's all there is to it - good luck, and we hope you have lots of fun climbing, or descending, the 100 word ladders in this book!

Download or read book The Crossword Century written by Alan Connor and published by National Geographic Books. This book was released on 2015-07-07 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A journalist and word aficionado salutes the 100-year history and pleasures of crossword puzzles Since its debut in The New York World on December 21, 1913, the crossword puzzle has enjoyed a rich and surprisingly lively existence. Alan Connor, a comic writer known for his exploration of all things crossword in The Guardian, covers every twist and turn: from the 1920s, when crosswords were considered a menace to productive society; to World War II, when they were used to recruit code breakers; to their starring role in a 2008 episode of The Simpsons. He also profiles the colorful characters who make up the interesting and bizarre subculture of crossword constructors and competitive solvers, including Will Shortz, the iconic New York Times puzzle editor who created a crafty crossword that appeared to predict the outcome of a presidential election, and the legions of competitive puzzle solvers who descend on a Connecticut hotel each year in an attempt to be crowned the American puzzle-solving champion. At a time when the printed word is in decline, Connor marvels at the crossword’s seamless transition onto Kindles and iPads, keeping the puzzle one of America’s favorite pastimes. He also explores the way the human brain processes crosswords versus computers that are largely stumped by clues that require wordplay or a simple grasp of humor. A fascinating examination of our most beloved linguistic amusement—and filled with tantalizing crosswords and clues embedded in the text—The Crossword Century is sure to attract the attention of the readers who made Word Freak and Just My Type bestsellers.
