LK, I'll give it a go if you want, I normally like them. I'll be home in 20 minutes so can do it then if that's ok?

PUZZLE #24 - Doublets from "Ache" to "Pain"

Please DO NOT post solution here. Mail to [email protected] With Puzzle # in subject line. Be sure to tell me what Team you are on, though I have most of you memorized!

Doublets were word-link puzzles first created by Lewis Carroll. Changing only one letter at a time, and using the clues along the side, go from "ache" to "pain"... or vice versa!



Larger picture !

ACHE
� bane of a teenager’s existence
� Queen of England, Scotland, and Ireland 1702�14
� stake put up by a player in poker and similar games before receiving cards
� small insects (family Formicidae, order Hymenoptera), often with a sting, that usually lives in a complex social colony
� creative works produced by skill and imagination
� scrape or remainder of food from a meal
� cereal plant (Avena sativa) cultivated in cool climates & used for animal feed & human consumption
� light strokes with the hand
� animal's feet having claws and pads (pleural)
� chess piece of the smallest size and value
PAIN

PUZZLE #25: Another slider puzzle, but with twelve pieces. A little harder than average, because the cover has so much black.


Please be sure to show that you worked the puzzle; do NOT just post the bookcover. Thank you.

LOL I sent in the doublets and the Not Thirds too :) I'm with you, though, on these sliders. They're definitely not my cup of tea.

Jenny, you can't change spreadsheet. And we get only one cupcake for every puzzle, no matter how many times it's solved.
Since we already got those cupcakes, you are only solving it for fun :D


message 590: by Stacie (new)

Stacie (thesebooksaremyfriends) Just as I suspected I have no patience for sliders (I gave up after maybe 30 seconds). However, I am apparently awesome at doublets. Who knew? Submitted doublets and the 3 that aren't 3rd for Tickle Me Pink!


message 591: by Vi (new)

Vi | 1721 comments It's the same for me. Sliders test my patience as well but I do it because I cannot let it win.

Yes, Jenny, ❶İձ❶ is correct. Only one cupcake per Team. But, here are some cookies for you:

Yes, all that black was hard. So, another love-hate relationship, huh?

30 seconds! LOMBO! Not very long, Stacie. Good thing you're killing the doublets.

It certainly is a love-hate relationship. I think I'm trying to prove something to myself - how many ways can I frustrate myself. LOL
