When NL figures out that, in Word Ladder, only one letter changes at a time he's going to be unstoppable.

The fact that he doesn't realize there's only two options for the gap between two entries on a ladder is slightly frustrating... For example between MATE and MITT, there can only be MATT or MITE. Between WAITER and BANTER can be WANTER or BAITER. Between CHIVES and CRIMES can be CRIVES or CHIMES. The only exception is if the same letter is changed, like ABCD -> ACCD can anything of the format A_CD.

Ryan, ya gotta remember that the answers on the word ladders will only have one different letter between the answers directly above and below it. So if you have both of those answers, there are only two possibilities for the one in between. Loving this content nonetheless, hope you keep at it for a while! :) Edit: lmfao that last quiz is kind of poorly made, you could just enter one of the answers that had been revealed but not typed and it would treat it like a new answer. It happened when NL entered Timor Leste, and possibly before that too
@JamesCoyle954 жыл бұрын
If you have the answer before and after the clue in a word ladder you only have 2 possible answers for it... WAITER and BANTER share *A*TER so you get either BAITER (banter with the I from waiter) or WANTER (waiter with the N from banter). Usually one of the possibilities isn't a word.
