	I started out thinking this would be an easy quiz done in five minutes tops. By the end, I learned my lesson.

	I enjoyed this quiz, but I'm calling foul on the Doobies answer. I know it's a real word, but only because I looked it up. The challenge of this quiz should be to determine which letters to switch, not to guess which option might conceivably be a word that's not in common usage.

	Great quiz! I was especially annoyed by words that could form another word, but not by "swapping". For example, ulster to 'rustle' mostly because it was hard to see any other word.

	Like Colmar, I thought this was going to be much easier than it actually was. Still, it is not overly difficult and I finished with about a minute to spare. Difficult and tricky, but not overly so. A wonderful quiz!

	Nice and challenging. I do think it would have been better if it left out some of the simple consonant-switching words (like “goober” and “booger”) and stuck with the more interesting ones, but still very good.

	@DrDave: Because the word is spelled "virile".

	12/36. The first few were easy for me (quiet to closets). Then my mind drew a blank. Only got 4 after that!

	Like so many others, I first thought this is gonna be easy. And "lustre" should not be allowed since it isn't a letter swap but two from Ulster. An obscure possible word would be "Basler" (citizens of Basel, Switzerland. Yes, they drop one e in the demonym).

	Goober to Booger was tough seeing as we say bogey not booger in the UK, change for a different word?

	Shaft41:	Oct 30th, 2011 at 16:50 GMT		10 points
	Huh. I guess "wetagay" is not a word.

	GeoExpert:	Oct 30th, 2011 at 17:50 GMT		10 points
	I kept on typing in "Prefect" over and over. Is prefect not a word? It should work with perfect. Then I saw my error. Oof.

	Fantastic quiz idea. The last column really got me, for some reason. I had a lot of fun despite failing miserably.

	Nice quiz. It seemed silly at first, but was a lot of fun.

	@mjmooney: Because you're swapping too many letters.
