	Leaf is another word for page in some circles. I only know this from doing crossword puzzles.

Missed flea. I guess the clue meant an annoyance to an actual pet and not pet peeve as in a personal annoyance.

	ezazahaz:	Jul 21st, 2011 at 04:59 GMT		36 points
	...how? How did I stare at "leaf" and "pet peeve" and fail to get "flea"? I have spent the past five days attempting to de-flea my two new cats. I see fleas writhing in flea combs when I close my eyes. How the hell did I miss that simple four-letter acronym, the bane of my week?

	ezazahaz:	Jul 21st, 2011 at 05:00 GMT		40 points
	...And by acronym I of course mean anagram. The fleas, they are stealing my brains!

	At one point, South Sudan jumped into my head. Wrong place, wrong time.

	It's surprisingly confusing to switch from word ladder mode to anagram mode.

	Excellent word quiz, kudos. I was toying with a 'hokey-cokey' word game. In, Out, In, Out, Shake it all about - where you change the inside letters, the outside letters etc before anagramming... This is much better and far less confusing than what I was attempting.

	I got stuck on "pirate's booty." I couldn't stop thinking about doubloons.

	Since this is the language section, if anybody here speaks Hindi, they'll be laughing their gaand off at the name of this quiz.

	Tony_A:	Jul 21st, 2011 at 12:40 GMT		13 points
	@Giantsgiants - leaf has always been a synonym for page - leaflets, looseleaf paper, leafing through a book, etc.

	Tony_A:	Jul 21st, 2011 at 12:43 GMT		15 points
	@Brennan, the question mark at the end of the clue for flea is commonly used in crossword puzzles to show that the answer is sort of a pun.

	Fantastic quiz, I really enjoyed this one :)

	Nice take on the word ladder/scramble format! Well done.

	slamb:	Jul 21st, 2011 at 13:24 GMT		4 points
	Hanging the whole ladder on a single actor's last name is not a good idea. Put the proper nouns in a dead-end, so real words can keep the continuum going.

	@indianwolf1992: I hate to break it to you but "Chutes" is pronounced "Shoots".

	kw_hanna:	Jul 21st, 2011 at 14:04 GMT		14 points
	@slamb: A malt is a drink because after you add the ingredient, it becomes a malt instead of a shake...On a menu, you ask for a chocolate malt (with malt ingredient) or you ask for chocolate shake

	Triffid:	Jul 21st, 2011 at 14:19 GMT		-2 points
	Malt in that context is unknown to me. Is this an Americanism? (I would have got 'soda' as that is better known across the Atlantic). I guessed a random word and got lucky.// Then I got stuck on the other drink - tang - I presume this is a brand name? Again, never heard of it.

	itswhatiam:	Jul 21st, 2011 at 14:29 GMT		6 points
	@kw_hanna, actually, after you add malt to a shake, it becomes a "malted." When we ask for a "chocolate malt," we're asking for a "chocolate malted," just shortening the word. However, it's a silly thing to complain about. If one knows what "malt" is used for, one should have no problem figuring out the word for this game.

	Triffid:	Jul 21st, 2011 at 14:44 GMT		6 points
	Well, in Europe we mostly use malt to brew alcoholic drinks. Never heard of it being used in conjunction with ice cream.

	tigerschick:	Jul 21st, 2011 at 14:55 GMT		7 points
	Triffid - I'm with you ... Malt, to me, is a whisky that has not been blended with any others. Tho I do understand that, as with countless other words in this language, it has more than one meaning :o)

	herong:	Jul 21st, 2011 at 15:14 GMT		0 points
	Weird quiz. I guessed a word right at the top and finished in like 10 moves.

	@wilfy: Different game, almost identical idea. Here's the Chutes and Ladders box (http://drh.digitalriver.com/DRHM/Storefront/Company/rn_v11327/images/product/detail/box01_chutes.jpg) and the game board (http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-7StyFR7Y0xQ/TfF8gUVdsZI/AAAAAAAAFjU/PZ-XY2mqT00/s1600/chutes-board.jpg), and here's the Snakes and Ladders box (http://www.comparestoreprices.co.uk/images/tr/traditional-wooden-snakes-and-ladders.jpg) and game board (http://www.dkimages.com/discover/previews/742/45735.JPG). Personally, I like Chutes and Ladders better.
