	I'm not sure if this has been done before - I don't always play the daily word ladders and nothing came up in any of my searches. I just thought it would make an interesting novelty word ladder. I've probably ended up making it about 5 answers too long so no doubt the image will be cut off on some people's computers. Hopefully not though. There's no theme as such, so as a word ladder it's fairly weak. My priority was just to try and use as many nouns as possible so that people didn't have to figure out anything too cryptic from the images - hopefully most of it is just 'say what you see' and then use the word ladder to work towards the more tenuous links such as the gun clue.

	Nice work, bazmerelda!

	@BombaySapphire: the first word I typed was 'Nude' @bazmerelda: Great idea, and as Oliver Twist said, 'More Please'

	As I write this, more than 61% of quiztakers have gotten all of the answers right. Maybe two minutes would be a better time limit than three?

	I love this. I'm editor-picking the crap out of this.

	I only realized part way through that it's a word ladder. Brilliant, you, not me. I must say that I missed the cartoon character's names, as well as the name of the car. I'd prefer words.

	@druhutch: Thanks for the Editor's Pick! :D @Fidelio: It is down to 57.6% right now. I think that is a usual amount for a word ladder - they're not supposed to be too difficult. I did wonder when I made this if not having to read clues would make it quicker than the standard '10 clues per minute' rule. Out of my contacts who've played so far, one has finished in under a minute (impressive!), two have finished in under 2 minutes and three have needed the full 3 minutes. I think 2 minutes might be a bit tight for the majority of people but I'm happy to change it if lots of people agree with you. @Flick: Hopefully some word ladder experts will take the concept and do some clever things with it. There must be some good themes around art, colour or naming sports people/actors/musicians etc. They aren't that much more difficult to write than a normal word ladder - you just have to be careful to only pick words which can be somehow represented visually and have a number of clues that can fit into a rectangular grid (unless you're not fussy about having uneven numbers of pictures in the columns).

	Brilliant! Definitely worth druhutch "editor picking the crap" out it!

	Dr_Nibbles:	Sep 9th, 2011 at 14:30 GMT		3 points
	it is really cool, but at least on my widescreen monitor I have to scroll all the time, which makes 3 minutes a very short time. I'm sure that will be different once it would be published, but for now I think it's too short to actually make it in time.

	There are Editor pick, there are 5 orb puzzles, but very rarely are there puzzles where I publicly plead for readers to use the Nominate button on. This, unquestionably is a quiz that should be nominated for the Front Page by as many people as possible.

	That's a baseball glove, to be precise. A mitt doesn't have individual gingers, as in a first basemen's mitt or a catcher's mitt. Good quiz though!

	I was so sure BARK went to BARE. I stared at the naked lady for over 30 seconds before I had my epiphany.

	ostroffj:	Sep 9th, 2011 at 15:16 GMT		3 points
	Awesome work. Maybe a little easy, but that's fine for the first quiz of its type. I look forward to seeing future variations. @razorz: Story of my life.

	@cdclark: Thanks. I've updated the image with a picture of what I now believe is a genuine baseball catcher's mitt - if I'm still clueless can someone please just send me a link to what a baseball mitt really is. I had a choice for that clue - either the baseball equipment or Mitt Romney - but I think he would have been even more difficult for my fellow Europeans. @Dr_Nibbles (and probably many others with the same problem) Sorry about the size of the image. I got carried away and knew I'd gone too far when I uploaded it. I can just about get everything in frame on my very square 19 inch monitor. Holding Ctrl and pressing the minus button will make all images and text smaller so you should be able to see everything (albeit with more difficult to interpret pictures). I'll see if I can fit that extra tip in the game note. You can undo the effect by just holding Ctrl and pressing +.

	@razorz: I've never heard it called an epiphany before.

	@bazmerelda: Had you considered boxing, if you're seeking a more globally-recognisable reference to 'mitt'?

	metagloria:	Sep 9th, 2011 at 20:21 GMT		9 points
	@BombaySapphire if I saw a boxing glove, I wouldn't get "mitt" from it in a million years. By the way, this quiz is AMAZING.

	BombaySapphire:	Sep 9th, 2011 at 21:39 GMT		0 points
	@metagloria: Fair enough. How about an oven mitt?

	#22 is not a mace but actually a morning star.

	Beautiful ladder. Like a few others BACK was a brief sticking point whilst I refused to let Sporcle tell me that BARE was incorrect, but the pictures used are very clear, and I can't wait to play more of these.

	#23 is a photo of rats, not mice. Mice are smaller, have tiny heads, and rounded ears that look large on their frames. Couldn't figure out what that one was supposed to be.

	joeflint82:	Sep 17th, 2011 at 20:26 GMT		3 points
	@wakethesun, even if you are correct, and it is a picture of rats, you would still have to be pretty stubborn to refuse to guess mice.

	That was fun. Good work. And, although it will get me marked down, I'm feeling quite pleased that I managed to intuit the last 5, even though I couldn't see any of the pictures (my computer ALWAYS cuts off the last column of these sorts of things). Though it helped that Lisa's the last word, so came up from the start.

	bazmerelda:	Sep 29th, 2011 at 16:20 GMT		1 point
	@parklife: Thanks. Doubt you'll get marked down for that - what else could you have done in that situation? Is there any chance you could post your screen resolution and browser so I can try to figure out exactly what causes images to be cut off? I'll see if I can do anything about it. I've made Image Ladders 2 & 3 narrower so they should hopefully fit on everyone's monitors: http://www.sporcle.com/games/bazmerelda/image-ladder-2 (4 letter bands) http://www.sporcle.com/games/bazmerelda/image-ladder-cities (4 letter cities)
