Here’s another puzzle to get you thinking as we move into the weekend. David Hunt, PGCE Computer Science Subject Leader in the School of Education, has this time devised a word ladder themed computer coding style challenge.
Word Ladder
A word ladder is a puzzle where you are trying to change one word into another, one letter at a time. The words you make at each stage must be valid entries in a dictionary.
For example, turning MAN into APE:-
MAN …. MAT …. OAT …. OPT …. APT …. APE
Challenge:
