MRL : Nov 20th, 2011 at 07:11 GMT 2 points Looks like you're missing a step between 9 and 10; can't go from BIO to BOD in a single change. (Adding this step will require you to update the count on the Rung 1 / Rung 16 clues.)
BombaySapphire : Nov 20th, 2011 at 12:08 GMT 3 points Or just change BIO to BID without adding any new rungs. I'm one of those rare persons who actually enjoys mutton, but I prefer it with just the double t. The third one is just overkill. ;)
bowsntoys : Nov 21st, 2011 at 14:18 GMT 1 point Is it possible to add numbers so we don't have to keep counting the clues? Lots of fun! :)
hedwigsmith : Feb 17th, 2012 at 20:00 GMT 5 points Paid also work for the Laid clue, which is kinda awkward, aside from that it's pretty good.
ostroffj : Feb 23rd, 2012 at 01:17 GMT 12 points I laughed out loud at the CLAUT clue. Would that all word ladders were so self-aware!

WeaselKing1000 : Oct 21st, 2012 at 08:50 GMT 3 points @ostroffj And would that more people used the 'would that' construction. :) Also, druhutch, is that a Simpsons reference I see in one of the clues, from when Lisa fails to impress her friend's anagram-fan dad? "...Very good. You know Lisa, I have a ball. Perhaps you'd like to bounce it."

BonnieH : Oct 21st, 2012 at 13:17 GMT 2 points Really liked this one! And, as often happens, I learned a few new words in a Sporcle word ladder!
Ethannat : Oct 21st, 2012 at 16:10 GMT 1 point You could shave a minute off of this one. I struggled at parts but it was still too much time.
trn : Oct 21st, 2012 at 19:59 GMT 1 point @Ethannat: agreed, I finished with almost 3 minutes left. Great quiz, though. When I got to the question about the toy tycoon, I found myself thinking "Polar Express, I thought Hanks was just a train conductor? He had a toy business on the side? Oh, wait... I'm an idiot."
