The one I had in mind was "Nould".

I tend to work through each word until I have a solution (or two) from start to finish, that way subsequent steps are easier .... as long as everyone else follows the script!

as has Collins - https://www.collinsdictionary.com/dicti ... lish/nould
Granted, it's not in the Oxford dictionary but I'll accept if if you will

Fine by me, and I've updated my dictionary bookmarks.

Hope Keiths alright, it's been a while since he popped in

Jeffers wrote: ↑Thu May 10, 2018 9:01 amIndeed, is it worth sending him a message?

Drink Unrid

Tricky one this, I can only find one route to do it in four steps.

Jeffers wrote: ↑Fri May 18, 2018 6:39 amI must admit, I don't usually look very far ahead.... I might have too this time.

Target: Munch

Now you've done it!

Jeffers wrote: ↑Wed May 23, 2018 6:31 pmIsn't that plagiarism?

Jeffers wrote: ↑Wed May 23, 2018 6:31 pmPS. And it's still dry!

Jeffers wrote: ↑Fri May 25, 2018 11:14 amAnd yes, it's raining here too. It saves me from having to water the plants, anyway.....

Bulgy Bilgy

It's not straight forward ... but it wouldn't be much of a challenge if it was

Woodles wrote: ↑Thu Jun 14, 2018 9:32 am Time for a detour then (assuming we're allowed place names - can't see anything against it?)

Jeffers wrote: ↑Fri Jun 15, 2018 9:08 amThe original rule said that the Oxford English dictionary was to be used to arbitrate any suspect word, so if it's in there it's OK (like Bligh was!)
And Leigh is in there, but as a name with Vivien Leigh, the actress.

I've found one way without diversions.

Lucid Picul

Jeffers wrote: ↑Mon Jun 25, 2018 10:39 amI'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...

Jeffers wrote: ↑Mon Jun 25, 2018 10:39 amYep, got a route that works.

Jeffers wrote: ↑Wed Jul 18, 2018 9:12 am( I had to check up on Nupes, never heard it before)

As 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".
