Re: Change a Letter - 5 letter words
I'll have to see if I can match that....hmmm. Good start, I had to look up "picul!" I had to laugh when it says it's made up of 100 "catties!" That's something to visualise...
Yep, got a route that works.

Re: Change a Letter - 5 letter words
I've always been interested in the written word, read and travell a lot and I do a lot of crosswords.
Usually though, it's a case of writing down the letters, changing one, sorting them into something that looks like it's pronounceable then checking to see if it's an actual word or not

Sadly I have to refer you back to the first post of the thread:
.... but since Keith has since abandoned us, I'm willing to give it a try if you areAs this version will likely be harder at times to reach the target there is one additional rule to limit the difficulty - any target word can never contain more than one, if any, of "Z", "X", "Q" or "J".

Sorry for breaking the rules,but let's press on.....
Can we have a definition for "Rizen" please, I can't find it.
Sorry Neil, but all the intermediate words have got to be real words in their own right..

It was a (not very good) horror film from last year.
I agree though, it would be better to have more 'normal' words. No offence Neil.
