I've enjoyed all of them so far. I really liked the word ladder too!

Yes, I love the ladder ones, too, Steven. But some people don't! LOL!

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 "stress" to "rested"... or vice versa!

*makes a mean face towards LK*

Hey, Steven loves them! Blame him, Eni. LOL!

What is your favorite, Eni?

*makes a mean face towards Steven!*

actually i like all of them except this one. but might have to do with english being my second language.. that and i was never good with word puzzle thingies lol =x

Well, Eni, I'm impressed you speak more than one language. I wish I did. I remember taking an algebra class with someone who was French, and she was always converting the problem back to her native language. ��

Oh, a crossword puzzle! I will do that and I still need to finish the ladder one. I love those ladder puzzles. But, they involve words and words are my favorite!

Oh, since you asked earlier and I forgot to respond: My favorites are word searches, ladders (or whatever the technical name is...looks like doublets, maybe) and crosswords, but I also really liked that jigsaw puzzle a lot. Only thing i really don't like is sliders because I get too annoyed to bother with them.

Oh, and I loved the book cover scramble!

LOL! GTK, Teresa. I just love the slider puzzle, Teresa.

yeah sometimes it's easier to translate to my native language. And i've had a little bit of practice >_< been an online gamer for almost 10years now O_O (wow that is long when u put it like that) and before that there was cartoon network =p oh plus school

sliders get on my nerves as well, but somehow i manage to like them =p

I think a lot of people like them, so that's cool. Fun for all!

LMBO!

PUZZLE #11: B'dazzled Blue

Here's my result.

LK - For the word ladder, I think you have left a clue in between..

Vi wrote: "LK - For the word ladder, I think you have left a clue in between.."

Yep, between Flat-bottomed boats and sergeants, there's something missing, I think.

Um, isn't it between broken rock and Sargeant?

Vi wrote: "Um, isn't it between broken rock and Sargeant?"

Let me double check my guesses and see where I am confused. *checks*

Yep, that's what I meant, hehe. I confused myself!

Whew! Scared me a minute there.

Second Puzzle
1:22!

Vi wrote: "Whew! Scared me a minute there."

Haha, sorry about that! I think I know the word, too. I just don't know the clue!

Vi wrote: "LK - For the word ladder, I think you have left a clue in between.."

My apologies. Let me fix it and re-post. (Went to bed early last night.)

Okay, fixed it. Again, sorry.

Good Morning, LK! Hope you had good rest.

No worries about the puzzle. It happens. And I guessed right too. *Happy Dance*

I really like Doublets. *hint hint*

Vi wrote: "I really like Doublets. *hint hint*"

Okay, they you can be my 'test bunny' on the next one. LOL!

My favourites are the word searches and the slider puzzles.

Thanks, LK! No worries.

I'm loving the doublets, too! I'm hoping to see another book cover tile scramble *hinthint*. I tried to find them online to do my own just because but I wasn't sure what to look for. I did a search for variations on 'book cover scramble' and didn't get anything. I did find one person's blog, where she did a weekly tile scramble but I didn't like it. They looked like mosaics and I couldn't make heads or tails of the picture. I liked the one that you posted here.

I thought I was going nuts with that thing. I'm so glad that someone else had an issue.

Sorry, Barbara��! I'll get someone to proof-read the next one, before I post. Promise.

did u say... next one? >_>

**snortsnort**

This thread needs more doublets. :p

And word searches.

And jigsaw puzzles.

And crosswords.

*snicker* But wait, I want LK to read, since she's on MY team, so no pressure, really! Whenever you have time, LOL!

LOL! I did more sleeping than reading, but I have a few lined up.

Let me see if my test bunny is awake to proof the doublet.
