| I like what you're trying to do, but I think some of the clues can be improved. First, if you use the rung numbers ([10th rung][24th rung]), you need to add rung numbers in a third column. For rung 37, your hint is singular and your word is plural. Finally, I think you may want to look up the words you're using and see if they can be clued more effectively - for rung 38, it can be "neuron support cells" or something like that, but to those who are not scientists, it's always going to be an obscure word. Alternatively, I have an idea for a different way to get where you're going, which might help with some of the difficult-to-clue ones. It takes two rungs more, but it only uses one obscure term to non-scientists instead of two and that's an acronym: WOOD-> MOOD-> MOOS-> MOSS-> MOST-> MOSH-> MOTH-> MATH-> BATH-> BATS-> EATS-> ENTS-> ANTS-> ARTS-> ARCS-> ARCH-> ACTH-> UCTH. Use it or not at your leisure, but I think it might help. Also, is there a better clue than "nutrition drink" available? How about "Word preceding shake, maid, and moustache?"
Anyway, sorry this is long and drawn out - hope some of it is helpful! |
