	Good idea... Not enough time. x

	Bobman1:	Jun 13th, 2011 at 05:39 GMT		13 points
	I thought it very cool and maybe one minute too short for me (the concept and the LOTR abbreviation proved stumbling blocks that took time to figure out). Had I "got" lotr, I still may not have had time to type all those wordy titles in the extra minute. Still, I love it.

	LOVE IT! Probably my favorite word ladder ever! I thought the time was pretty good, but it took a wild stab in the dark to guess "lotr". I thought, "R can't come after T...wait a minute..." and then the quiz got awesome. :)

	Great quiz, and the time was fine for me

	TLordaGama:	Jun 13th, 2011 at 11:06 GMT		2 points
	Don't get it, what dropped letters?

	chiefyratain:	Jun 13th, 2011 at 12:03 GMT		16 points
	This could use a little explaining in the directions, or a little more time

	TL333s:	Jun 13th, 2011 at 12:08 GMT		0 points
	One of the best word ladders I have ever seen. Just barely enough time.

	Wilson:	Jun 13th, 2011 at 12:47 GMT		-2 points
	Creative. Just enough time (which is good). My problem is I don't really care about LOTR. Still a great quiz.

	Yvonne_india:	Jun 13th, 2011 at 12:48 GMT		2 points
	I'm with TLordaGama, what's with the "dropped letters" part? When I read that part of the grid, I was expecting to see one of the letters in each word to be lower case. How does that part of the clues work?

	Pogues:	Jun 13th, 2011 at 12:53 GMT		2 points
	That was seriously fricking cool!

	The_Road_Guy:	Jun 13th, 2011 at 13:00 GMT		13 points
	Awesome concept, needs clarity in instructions. I thought final column would be a word ladder too. Great set-up, though. Make more!

	IronFirefly:	Jun 13th, 2011 at 13:06 GMT		2 points
	Fabulous quiz! Nice bringing in polk!

	hnofer17:	Jun 13th, 2011 at 13:22 GMT		2 points
	The dropped letter means the letter from the previous word that is changed to get the next letter in the ladder

	monstro:	Jun 13th, 2011 at 13:38 GMT		1 point
	Loved it! Great job, and very creative!

	TAR2:	Jun 13th, 2011 at 14:15 GMT		2 points
	Love the idea! But the first two clues in the first column could be improved.

	Cerdog:	Jun 13th, 2011 at 14:28 GMT		2 points
	I loved the quiz (although there wasn't enough time) but, as someone from the UK, I had no idea what the answer to "Tampa Bay team" was, and therefore could never have got the clue from that column or the final answer. I don't want to say the quiz was too US-centric, which it wasn't, but there are plenty of other clues that could have been used there.

	Tony_A:	Jun 13th, 2011 at 14:31 GMT		-2 points
	Great quiz! Didn't think I'd get through it, but when I finished, I still had 44 seconds left. Can't wait for "The Hobbit" movies to open!!!

	Bob91351:	Jun 13th, 2011 at 15:19 GMT		1 point
	I really need to learn to spell the writer's name

	ijklmarissa:	Jun 13th, 2011 at 17:08 GMT		0 points
	I tried "mate" for "Lion's pride" - a "pride" is all the females in a male lion's group who he mates with, and "tame" makes sense when it's the first ladder (you don't have any other of the clues)

	Griffinite:	Jun 13th, 2011 at 17:48 GMT		0 points
	Got really confused cause the first dropdown clue looked like it was still a word ladder till the bottom of the rows (I didn't get the two before it) so I had a hard time working through the rest. Good ladder though.

	squiggsy:	Jun 13th, 2011 at 18:03 GMT		4 points
	This was a great idea, but with so short of time, there needs to be way better directions, and possibly an example.

	climber_v12:	Jun 13th, 2011 at 18:04 GMT		-1 points
	Wow.... wordladders never used to get this many comments.

	RonB:	Jun 13th, 2011 at 19:24 GMT		1 point
	Nice Word ladder. Time was tight, but I didn't mind.

	Cubby:	Jun 13th, 2011 at 20:52 GMT		2 points
	I think this needs more time, for sure. Otherwise, it's a great concept.

	westknife:	Jun 14th, 2011 at 01:28 GMT		-2 points
	"nays" should also be acceptable for "puts down."

	quackman:	Jun 14th, 2011 at 03:27 GMT		0 points
	I'd also consider accepting "pays" for "puts down". It fits the word ladder and the clue, as it to "put down" money as a deposit on a house or car.
