Dr T Posted September 18, 2006 Report Share Posted September 18, 2006 Here’s a puzzle called a “trickledown” puzzle. The rules are simple: you merely change one letter on each line to make a new word and continue until you reach the final word. Fist one: Coat _____ _____ _____ Vase Show me how you got there.

Dr T Posted September 18, 2006 Author Report Share Posted September 18, 2006 Well done, Josh. :) I don't know what you mean by Since it is impossible to change four letters in three lines...(I know because I tried )I will use four lines.you did it correctly. There is a total of 5 lines from the starting word to the last word. Again, good job.I'll look at yours when I get some time. Maybe someone will solve it before I can. ThanksDes,You can only change one letter per line. That was an intro example. I have one more that everyone can try. It's a little harder. Here you go...PEARL_____ _____ _____ _____ BANDSGood luck.Dr. T Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
