	@slipkid An interesting approach to a word ladder. Just one thing, in a word ladder, you're supposed to change a different position letter each time. That way, it is more elegant, and if you have a missing word, you can figure out what it is easily if you know both words on either side. If you change the same position, then you have to guess 24 letters until you get it. For example, CAMA to CADA to CASA. There is no reason to have CADA there because you can go straight from CAMA to CASA.

	@sproutcm: Thanks for the suggestion. I'll keep it in mind should I create another Spanish word ladder. Hopefully Sporclers who know some Spanish will still enjoy this and have some success.

	Well, "pedo" isn't the most polite word to be said in public, but I suppose neither is "fart" in English...

	lima is actually lemon and lime is limon. At least that is how it is where I grew up (northern Mexico). although, it was easy enough to figure out.

	@ArtVandaley: It is true that in Mexico lima=lemon & limón=lime, I lived in northern Mexico (Monterrey) for a year and remember it that way. However, in most other parts of the Spanish speaking world lima=lime & limón=lemon so I chose "lime" as the clue for "lima." I did consider using "nail file" as the clue for "lima" but thought that fewer people would know it.

	I'm with sproutcm, but this still was fun.

	I have editted this quiz so that it is now a true word ladder, i.e. "One letter, in a different position, changes each time to form a new Spanish word." So this quiz looks a bit different now than it looked if you played it prior to the date of this comment.

	Not a correction, just FWIW: in Peru, the word "limón" refers to the small round green lime (like a key lime) that they have there; there is no big green lime like in Mexico or USA, and there is no yellow lemon -- but the word "lima" can also mean a different (bigger, round like an orange, fairly uncommon, bitter not sour) citrus fruit (one which as far as I know has no English name). Oh, and this is Peru, so this would be how the words work in... Lima.

	Because of the whole "lima vs. limón" thing, I have changed the clue for "Lima" to capital of Peru.

	great quiz! i will admit, i had some trouble with it, but i like the approach! i was going to try to make a spainsh word ladder once, but since i am not PERFECT at the language yet, it was still tricky... :(

	knowing french and having done approximately 5,000 sporcle word ladders (rough estimate) actually got me a surprisingly good score. this was fun!
