	Sad...Just sad

	My only comment is that the color scheme is extremely hard to read - the white letters on pale blue background is tough on the eyes. I think black letters would be more visible.

	well.. that was...short...finished before I blinked.

	A little short, maybe?

	3/8 clues unsolvable without doing other clues. Bad idea.

	I usually hate when people brag about how easily they beat a quiz but when you can finish a quiz in less than 20 seconds at even a leisurely pace, you're either super smart (which probably isn't me) or you're playing a ridiculously easy quiz that probably shouldn't have been published.

	That's how I solved it. I used the other clues. I'm not up on Britney Spears tunes. @Bio: Took more than 20 seconds. It would take me more than 20 seconds if someone stood here and recited the words to me.

	Geez Sporcle...getting desperate for Word Ladders?

	Goodness, these are some of the most negative comments I have ever seen on Sporcle that aren't related to religion or the prevalence of a certain North American country. If you object to the theme, you can be sure that there will be a different one tomorrow; I thought the timing and difficulty of the quiz were on par with other daily doses, even for someone who isn't exactly up on his Britney Spears hits.

	@All I really really don't understand what's wrong with this ladder based on the ratings and the comments. It was a great idea, connecting themed 4-letter words together, and well-carried out. If you really are on Sporcle because you like words and trivia and knowledge, then everyone should stop griping any time some quiz isn't in their area of strength because you're learning something new, and someone else gets to have a quiz in their area. Since none of the complaining commenters on this quiz have made word ladders themselves, let's see you try to find cool themes of the same number of letters to connect. It is sets of comments like this that make me want to stop making quizzes.

	@sproutcm: I really don't think many people are commenting negatively on this quiz because they don't like the subject. I for one don't particularly care for Britney Spears, but am always keen to learn something new, especially in word ladder-form. But what's bothering me (and seemingly a lot of others too) is that there are only 8 rungs, and a few are pretty easy (or used a lot in other word ladders, at least). So this quiz is pretty easy for the time it has (and, yes, I know that time limits don't go lower that 1 min.). Besides, imho you are overreacting a bit threatening us with you stopping to make quizzes... These are just opinions and to each his own.

	sproutcm:	Aug 2nd, 2011 at 21:40 GMT	2 points
	@Quizmaster91 38% of the people who took this quiz couldn't get all the answers in a minute. So everyone can be proud of their "best score 8 out of 8 in 18 seconds" and other people who normally have trouble finishing word ladders can be proud of getting further than usual. Once again, it isn't just topic but level. Everything cannot always be the same level of difficulty. Also, If you're making a word ladder, words that are CVCV (consonant vowel consonant vowel) are going to be much more common since most 4-letter words have that pattern. But as with crossword puzzles, the same words come up all the time, so you learn to find new cool ways of clueing them.

	Or didn't finish because it is a BAD word ladder. I don't waste my time with some quizzes. This was one of them.

	crazylegs:	Aug 3rd, 2011 at 01:46 GMT	4 points
	@All: I realise this quiz isn't the highest in difficulty. I made this as one of my first attempts at a word ladder and to be entirely honest forgot about it. That being said, just cause you don't like the subject matter or find it too easy doesn't necessarily make it a poor ladder. @sproutcm: Thanks for your support on this. I didn't think I had done anything wrong, and making these isn't always the easiest task. I appreciate you backing me up.

	I liked this quiz. It made me envision Marcel Marceau drilling a hole into a naked Britney Spears, that pig, and dumping her body into a peat bog.

	@Sproutcm- I had no problem with the theme, I just think even the daily word ladders could be a bit beefier, that's all. Crazylegs mentioned it was his first word ladder, and that's perfectly understandable, no one should expect super awesome quizzes from people on their first effort. I'm just thinking maybe Sporcle could have gone with a ladder that's got a little more to it, though for all I know there aren't enough people creating them at present.
