Word Game I
Word Game
I think Lewis Carroll, who wrote "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland," invented this game.You begin with two words that have the same number of letters, and try to change one into the other by changing one letter at a time. Each change has to be a word, too.
For example, here's a way to change DOG into CAT:
DOG
DOT
COT
CAT
It's kind of fun. Here are a few more to try. You might be able to think of others. Try changing:
HEAD into TAIL
FOUR into FIVE
GRASS into HORSE
FLOUR into BREAD
(I don't think anybuggy can change LADYBUG into CRICKET, though.)
Have fun,
Cricket

FLOUR-BREAD;
FLOUR
FLOOR
FLOOD
BROOD
BROAD
BREAD
I think that brood is a word. It sounds very familiar and wordish. Is it a word?
Sure, Meadow. The mother hen had a brood of baby chicks!

And Sondheim's Sweeney Todd liked to brood. *nodnod*

Maybe it would be easier if someone gave Ladybug a valentine.

I will change Ladybug into Cricket! Watch me!
Ladybug-Cricket:
Ladybug
Cady bug
Cady but
Cady bet
Cacy bet
Cacky bet
Cracky bet
Crickey bet
Crickey yet
Cricke yet
Cricket
Okay, I don't know whether that counts, but the meaningless words (like Cacy) were names.
