Challenge 18: Word Mane-iacs
« on: May 15, 2019, 05:14:32 pm »
Bad news, everypony!  I wanted to do a challenge where we all drew panels for a comic book and then a group of judges chose the best one.  But we got our example comics from this place in Canterlot called the House of Enchanted Comics, and I didn't know they meant the books were LITERALLY enchanted! Anyway, long story short we've been sucked into this issue of Power Ponies and now the Mane-iac has us trapped in Maretropolis.

In order to climb out of her dastardly trap we'll need a ladder. And since there isn't any wood here, we'll have to construct them out of words!

When you are ready to start, you'll start your timer at THIS GOOGLE FORM. You will be given several pairs of words.  For each pair, you must build a ladder between the first word and the last word by changing one letter at a time.  Each step must also be a valid English word, as defined by merriam-webster.com.  For example, say one of the pairs is COLD/WARM. You might build a ladder like so:

COLD
CORD
WORD
WORM
WARM

Whoever completes all of their ladders with the fewest amount of rungs will win immunity. In the event of a tie, immunity will go to the player who submits the fastest.

Getting this question from multiple people. If a word is only a proper noun then it it NOT valid.

How did you all do?

In fifth place...
Rarity took 68 steps!
In fourth place...
It's Grand Pear with 58!
In third place...
Soarin is right behind with 55!
Five steps separate first and second place...
Coco finishes with 39, which is better than Granny Smith's 44!  Coco Pommel wins immunity!
