Sorry Group C
I now have only seen an error
OPALS > ORALS ---- Change letter: P to R
ORALS > ORAL ---- Remove a Letter: S
ORAL > CORAL ---- Add a letter: C
CORAL > COAL ---- Remove a Letter: R
COAL > COLA ----- Create an anagram
COLA > COLE Change Letter: A to E
COLE > COKE ----- Change Letter: L to K
COKE > CAKE ----- Change Letter O to A
The words ORALS and ORAL in your second step mean exactly the same so no new word was created
You can try again and see can you solve it
If not then Team A wins
Let me know if you are going to try again
I was thinking of the change from adjective to noun with different definitions but alas i do not have time at present to review this - maybe someone else can provide some input?
TEAM C
We are playing the best of 3
This is the second of 3
Each team will be given a start word and an end word and you must gradually morph one into the other. To do so you may perform one of four possible actions at every turn letter words must alter the first one in steps to get the second word.
Teams must follow the four rules below.
If a team fails to follow one of the rules then they will be given a warning and if they receive three warnings they will be removed from the contest.
The rules
A team must perform one of four possible actions at every turn. You may:
Add a letter - i.e. you can turn FOG into FROG
Remove a letter - i.e. you can turn HEARD into HEAD
Change a letter - i.e. you can turn WELP into WELD
Create an anagram - i.e. you can turn RATES into STARE
Note that when adding, removing or changing a letter, you can not change the order in which the letters appear.
You are given a start word and an end word, and you must gradually morph one into the other.
Each step a team takes they must mentioned what step they have taken
Failure to do so will result in a warning.
Anyone that has any questions sent me a private message(PM). Please do not post it in the sign up section below.
Each team will get a different start word and an end word but the difficulty to solve each will be the same for each team.(The record was seven steps to solve)
The record for solving the words was 8 steps
Group A won round 1
