DarkPhalanx : Nov 13th, 2010 at 13:54 GMT 2 points It's a little easy but impeccably put together
exackerly : Nov 13th, 2010 at 20:56 GMT 6 points Lot of fun!
EmYanks2001 : Nov 21st, 2010 at 06:07 GMT -1 points ran outta time, only 18
brez002 : Nov 24th, 2010 at 03:59 GMT 5 points very fun quiz, i thought it could just use more time.
refwen : Jun 6th, 2011 at 05:32 GMT 9 points not to be rude, but 8 fluid oz is a cup, a pint is 16 (pint a pound the world around)
Comment below threshold: show it Big_E : Jun 6th, 2011 at 10:43 GMT -11 points you stayed in the 'M's so long, you could have gone right from MINK to MINI without ming, mung and muni
Comment below threshold: show it slamb : Jun 6th, 2011 at 12:28 GMT -10 points I dislike ladders with movie star, athlete or rock star names. I stopped when I got all the non-proper words.
chiefyratain : Jun 6th, 2011 at 13:11 GMT 2 points Mung and Muni, never heard of them, besides that excellent quiz
sproutcm : Jun 6th, 2011 at 14:08 GMT 11 points @Big-E if you skip that portion of the ladder you break the theme of having every four letter best actor and actress which would defeat the point.
Pit_trout : Jun 6th, 2011 at 16:55 GMT 3 points @refwen: Good point re this world ladder, but that saying’s quite wrong — in the UK a pint is 20 fl oz, not 16. (Which is why we complain that American beers are too small…)
TimeAndTide : Jun 6th, 2011 at 20:06 GMT 4 points @sproutcm: Needless to say, I think this is an excellent theme for a word ladder, and it was excellently constructed. Five orbs!
EmYanks2001 : Jun 6th, 2011 at 21:14 GMT 1 point I apparently forgot that I did this quiz already and played again -- this time beat my previous score with a whopping 21 lol
msphilo : Jun 6th, 2011 at 22:56 GMT 4 points Ciné is not the French word for movie, it's film...
JoRowlingRocks : Jun 6th, 2011 at 23:22 GMT 3 points Was going to comment the same thing re: French for a movie. 'Ciné' is an abbreviation of cinéma funnily enough! Apparently it can be used to mean film but I've never heard it used that way.
HollyDolly : Jun 15th, 2011 at 13:34 GMT 1 point lol i only got nell because i mistyped bell
HorseHungVegas : Sep 1st, 2011 at 10:16 GMT 1 point i'm beyond shocked that i got 50/50 - first word ladder i've ever completed - some of the answers i didn't quite know but fortunately had enough throughout the quiz that was able to figure out the missing betweens based on ... sheer luck i guess
nice job!
mrodom : Feb 20th, 2012 at 03:33 GMT 1 point Thanks for using "A greenish-yellow type of bean" for mung and not it's South Park definition.
