	Actually, it is Americanized. ;) However, all the answers are 5 letters long, and the British spellings of them aren't 5 letters long so they cannot possibly fit.

	Quiz clues have too high of a dependency on other clues, making it a maze of words more than a word ladder. Not impressed.

	I very much agree with Pogues. Too many rungs are dependent on other rungs. Rather difficult word-ladder this, harder than most, but not in a good way.

	What's with all the complainers, I thought this was great, all were very gettable, and it's nice to see a five letter word ladder that wasn't just 4 letter words with an s on the end

	I actually thought that this was one of the easier ladders; there aren't as many directions to head with some of the words included here. I've never heard of the movie mentioned but since I began in the middle with what bees make, it was easy enough to work out the rest.

	The problem with the Americanised words for us Brits is you don't think honor is a word, and honour doesn't fit - that's why it doesn't work. Just next to the green arrow you'll find the red arrow my American friends:

	Three? I get color and honor, but are you perhaps referring to "Posey?" That's... her name.

	@Spoik: Why is it always "us Brits"? Don't Canadians and Australians spell that way, too? Or is it only the Brits who complain?

	Chromatos: you spelled "americanised" wrong.

	Pit_trout:	Mar 28th, 2011 at 18:02 GMT		25 points
	@Chromatos, @Spoik: look here, chaps, we all know the Americans spell some words differently; it’s not like they spring it on us as a sudden surprise or something. Is it really beyond our abilities to work out that sometimes an American spelling is going to be the answer needed? And when we make quizzes, we can use our spellings, and give Americans the credit for enough brainpower to cope with our extra u’s and ise’s. Sporcle is about general knowledge; knowing how one’s colinguals around the world spell some things differently is a pretty simple part of that knowledge…

	I also suffered from being English on this quizz, although that can't really be my excuse, i've never heard of the The Hustler so the first question was beyond me

	@rct, not sure about the Canadians, but you're right, "us Aussies" spell these words the same way as the Brits. But I didn't think these words were that hard to work out. None of the words would have worked with the British spelling. We all know there are two different spellings to many of these words and we can still work these puzzles out if we keep that in mind.

	@Pit_trout: THANK YOU. You're right--speaking as an American, I can tell if a Brit (or Aussie, etc.) makes a quiz because of some "unusual" spellings or terms, at least in the clues. And that's OKAY. I shouldn't expect foreigners to do things the American way--they're not AMERICANS. I suffer on any quiz that requires rudimentary knowledge of the EPL and European "soccer" in general, and I'm sure that most of you "across the pond" suffer on quizzes that require knowledge of American sports. To everyone else--just because you don't like it doesn't mean you have to whine about it--nor do you have to give the quiz a bad rating.

	I disagree with Pogues -- I thought the interlinking of the clues was fun. I'd like to see a word ladder where every clue refers to some other rung of the ladder.

	Another THANK YOU to Pit_trout's well-worded response. Can't we all just get along?
