	never knew that definition of wanton -- when i hear wanton i think of chinese food lol... this was a hard quiz, but i still enjoyed it... much more challenging with 6 letters!!

	Figured out the last one by letter-bombing with 1 second left! Great quiz, I appreciate the difficulty of making it a six-letter ladder.

	Great words and clues.

	While I'm sure actually creating a 6 letter word ladder is a pain, its a lot more challenging (and therefore fun) to play than the usual 4 letter quizzes.

	Agreed with the over-all kudos afforded the quiz above, yet the ladder's short-hand definition of "wanton" is a bit off, even by vernacular standards.

	@fred_towes Nope, according to the dictionary, the definition I used is RIGHT out of the dictionary: 1 a archaic : hard to control : UNDISCIPLINED, UNRULY b : playfully mean or cruel : MISCHIEVOUS 2 a : LEWD, BAWDY b : causing sexual excitement : LUSTFUL, SENSUAL 3 a : MERCILESS, INHUMANE wanton cruelty b : having no just foundation or provocation : MALICIOUS a wanton attack 4 : being without check or limitation: as a : luxuriantly rank wanton vegetation b : unduly lavish : EXTRAVAGANT wanton imagination

	Another GEM from the master!! Thank you, sproutcm, for consistently excellent quizzes!

	Fair enough, sproutcm. Not sure which dictionary you are citing here, but definition 2b is in discord with the most common usages of "wanton", and I am by no means an anal or "marm-ish" sort as pertains such matters. The remaining portion of your cited entry square aptly with my understanding of the word as adjective, meaning "unfettered", "amok", "ribald", "uninhibited". Excellent work on the quiz over all.

	@fred_towes That's cut and pasted out of Merriam-Webster. I didn't say all the uses are equally common, but all of them are true definitions of wanton in some of its uses. I try to vary the definitions in word ladders so that people can learn, and practice for their SATs.

	Very good, sproutcm. Perhaps I shouldn't be surprised that Merriam Webster (or any other online reference source) is enshrining such shorthand definitions in this day and age. Good purpose for this quiz, and again, holistically strong work.

	This quiz gave me a huge wanton.
