What is a word ladder

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Lewis Carroll’s doublet in Vanity Fair, March 1897 changing the word «head» to «tail» in five steps, one letter at a time

Word ladder (also known as Doublets,[1] word-links, change-the-word puzzles, paragrams, laddergrams,[2] or word golf) is a word game invented by Lewis Carroll. A word ladder puzzle begins with two words, and to solve the puzzle one must find a chain of other words to link the two, in which two adjacent words (that is, words in successive steps) differ by one letter.[3]

History[edit]

Lewis Carroll says that he invented the game on Christmas day in 1877.[3] Carroll devised the word game for Julia and Ethel Arnold.[4] The first mention of the game in Carroll’s diary was on March 12, 1878, which he originally called «Word-links», and described as a two-player game.[3] Carroll published a series of word ladder puzzles and solutions, which he then called «Doublets», in the magazine Vanity Fair, beginning with the March 29, 1879 issue.[3] Later that year it was made into a book, published by Macmillan and Co.[5]

J. E. Surrick and L. M. Conant published a book Laddergrams of such puzzles in 1927.[1]

Vladimir Nabokov alluded to the game using the name «word golf» in the novel Pale Fire, in which the narrator says ‘some of my records are: hate—love in three, lass—male in four, and live—dead in five (with «lend» in the middle).’[1]

The game was revived in Australia in the 1990s by The Canberra Times as «Stepword».[6]

Word ladders are often featured in the New York Times crossword puzzle.[7][8][9]

Rules[edit]

The player is given a start word and an end word. In order to win the game, the player must change the start word into the end word progressively, creating an existing word at each step. Each step consists of a single letter substitution.[3] For example, the following are the seven shortest solutions to the word ladder puzzle between words «cold» and «warm», using words from Collins Scrabble Words.

COLD → CORD → CORM → WORM → WARM
COLD → CORD → CARD → WARD → WARM
COLD → CORD → WORD → WARD → WARM
COLD → CORD → WORD → WORM → WARM
COLD → WOLD → WORD → WORM → WARM
COLD → WOLD → WORD → WARD → WARM
COLD → WOLD → WALD → WARD → WARM

As each step changes only one letter, the number of steps must be at least the Hamming distance between the two words – four in the above example.[10] Lewis Carroll’s example has an extra fifth step as the third letter changes twice.

Often word ladder puzzles are created where the end word has some kind of relationship with the start word (synonymous, antonymous, semantic…). This was also the way the game was originally devised by Lewis Carroll when it first appeared in Vanity Fair.

Some variations also allow the player to add or remove letters, and to rearrange the same letters into a different order (an anagram).

Five-letter word ladders[edit]

Donald Knuth used a computer to study word ladders of five-letter words. He felt that three and four were too easy and six was too hard.[3] Knuth used a collection of 5,757 common English five-letter words, excluding proper nouns. He wrote a program which showed the steps connecting any two words, or noted that no connection was possible.[3] He found that many word pairs were connected, but that 671 words were not connected to any other word, i.e ‘had no neighbours’, as he put it. He called these words «aloof», and noted amusingly that «aloof» is itself such a word.[3]

Word Ladder (также известный как Doublets, словесные ссылки, головоломки со сменой слов, параграммы, лестничные диаграммы или слово гольф ) словесная игра, изобретенная Льюисом Кэрроллом. Головоломка со словесной лестницей начинается с двух слов, и для решения головоломки нужно найти цепочку других слов, чтобы связать эти два слова, в которой два соседних слова (то есть слова в последовательных шагах) отличаются на одну букву.

История

Льюис Кэрролл говорит, что он изобрел игру на Рождество в 1877 году. Кэрролл разработал словесную игру для Джулии и Этель Арнольд. Первое упоминание об игре в дневнике Кэрролла было 12 марта 1878 года, которое он первоначально назвал «Word-links» и описал как игру для двух игроков. Кэрролл опубликовал в журнале Vanity Fair, начиная с выпуска от 29 марта 1879 года, серию головоломок и решений со словесной лестницей, которые он затем назвал «Дублетами». Позже в том же году он был преобразован в книгу, опубликованную Macmillan and Co.

J. Э. Суррик и Л.М. Конант опубликовали книгу Ладдерграммы таких головоломок в 1927 году.

Владимир Набоков упомянул игру под названием «гольф» в романе Бледный огонь, в котором рассказчик говорит: «Некоторые из моих записей: ненависть — любовь в трех, девушка — мужчина в четырех и живая — мертвая в пяти (с« одолжить »в середине)».

Игра была возрождена в Австралии в 1990-х годах издательством The Canberra Times как «Stepword».

Словарные лестницы часто используются в кроссвордах New York Times.

Правила

Игроку дается начальное и конечное слово. Чтобы выиграть игру, игрок должен постепенно менять начальное слово на конечное, создавая существующее слово на каждом шаге. Каждый шаг состоит из замены одной буквы. Например, ниже приведены семь кратчайших решений головоломки со словом «лестница» между словами «холодный» и «теплый» с использованием слов из Collins Scrabble Words.

COLD → CO R D → C A RD → W ARD → WAR M

COLD → CO R D → COR M→ WORM → W ARM

COLD → CO R D → W ORD → W A RD → WAR M

COLD → CO R D → W ORD → WOR M → W ARM

COLD → W OLD → W A LD → WA R D → WAR M

COLD → W СТАРЫЙ → WO R D → W A RD → WAR M

ХОЛОДНЫЙ → W СТАРЫЙ → WO R D → WOR M → W ARM

Часто головоломки со словесной лестницей создаются, где конечное слово имеет какую-то связь с начальным словом (синоним, антоним, смысловой…). Именно так игра была первоначально разработана Льюисом Кэрроллом, когда она впервые появилась в Vanity Fair.

Некоторые варианты также позволяют игроку добавлять или удалять буквы и переставлять те же буквы в другом порядке (анаграмма ).

Пятибуквенные лестницы слов

Дональд Кнут использовал компьютер для изучения словарных лестниц пятибуквенных слов. Он считал, что лестницы из трехбуквенных слов были слишком легкими (хотя Льюис Кэрролл обнаружил, что для превращения APE в MAN требуется шесть ступеней), и что лестницы из шести букв были менее интересны, поскольку относительно небольшое количество пар шестибуквенных слов могло быть связано со словесной лестницей. Кнут использовал фиксированный набор из 5 757 наиболее распространенных английских пятибуквенных слов, за исключением существительных. Он точно определил, когда между двумя словами из сборника возникла словная лестница, через другие слова из сборника. Кнут обнаружил, что большинство слов связаны друг с другом, и он также обнаружил, что 671 слово из сборника не образуют словесную лестницу с другими словами. Он назвал эти слова «отчужденный», потому что «отчужденный» сам по себе является примером такого слова.

what is a word ladder

The goal in writing this post is to get people to appreciate the work and artistry that go into creating good word ladders, and help people to start making their own since mini word ladders are now part of the Sporcle Daily Dose. Hopefully, this will inspire Sporclers to try and make little ladders of their own.

History of Word Ladders

Word ladders were first popularized by Lewis Carroll but he had two ways of doing them. You could change exactly one letter in the word, OR you could add/subtract a letter from the word to make a new one. So in his word ladder, the lengths changed all the time. That’s fine do to, but he always indicated what type of process was happening. The sporcle user Caramba has made a solid example of the classic Lewis Carroll ladder, where he also added anagramming the letters.

There have also been puzzles for a long time that asked you to use common words to link two words together in the shortest path.  That’s hard to do without clues, and often there are multiple possible paths. However, Sporcle user Flick did an excellent job of making a Sporcle version of the shortest path ladders.

Word Ladder “Rules” and “Guidelines”

A) Word ladders can be done for 4-letter and 5-letter words. 6-letter words can be done for a small sequence, but not for long, just due to the nature of words. Also, if you come up with something good, you might be able to make a 3-letter version, but it also starts to get a little too easy with really short words.

B) In a Word Ladder, exactly one letter changes from word to word. If more than one letter changes, it really starts to be hard to go from step to step.

C) In a Word Ladder, the position that changes must be different each time.

  • Rationale:  LOVE -> ??? -> ROVE
  • So, let’s say you have three clues:: Amor in English, American Poet Laureate Rita, and Bush Politico Karl.
  • Since LOVE and ROVE only differ by one letter, there are 24 possible letters that can be ?OVE and if you don’t know who Rita Dove is, you have a lot of annoying guesswork. So, that’s why we avoid changing the same position twice in a row. Then you only have 2 possibilities to try.
  • For example, LOVE -> ROVE -> ROTE
  • So now, if you don’t know who Karl Rove is, but you have LOVE and ROTE, you know the two possibilities that go in the middle are ROVE or LOTE.

D) To make a good and exciting word ladder, inflected forms should be avoided at all costs, unless a theme traps you but try to get out of them fast. Inflected forms of words are things like plurals, participles, and past tenses.

  • Example: HOGS-> DOGS -> DIGS -> PIGS
  • Is a VERY boring word ladder. It looks like it is really 4-letter words but in actuality it is a bunch of plural 3-letter words. This happens a LOT if you try to make 5-letter ladders because they are SO hard to make in the first place.

E) Etymology.  It is bad form to put two words next to each other that come from the same word, since that’s really cheating and inelegant. For example: BORN ->BORE or LIFE -> LIVE

  • LIFE -> LIVE is hard to fix but you could clue LIFE as the board game, and LIVE as the band. Additionally, with BORN -> BORE you have a way out because there are other meanings that are not related. BORN can mean “having given birth to” or it can be “Last name of Physicist Max”

F) Word ladders alone are just fun. You can see that the first bunches of word ladders on Sporcle were just strings of interesting but unrelated, and those are fun, but it is a lot cooler if they have themes. There are several ways to make themed word ladders:

  1. Have the beginning and ending words be related to each other in some way (opposites, part of a phrase, part of a set, etc.)
  2. Have all (or most of) the clues in the ladder be related to a topic (math, music, Super Mario Brothers, etc.)
  3. Have the ladder contain a bunch of related words or a complete list (all the 4-letter countries, Michael Jackson hits, etc).

G) Don’t use a word again in the ladder.  However, there is a corollary to this if you want to start and end back on the same word.  Also, if your ladder is unthemed, you want to try to make sure that the ladder cannot be “jumped” meaning that you could actually go from the 3rd word to the 17th word, and cut out a big chunk. This is actually useful though, to ramble around and make a really short ladder a little bit longer.

  • For example, WORK -> PORK -> PORE -> WORE.  In that case, you could have just gone from WORK -> WORE in one step.

H) Try to have the letter patterns vary, as that makes the ladder more interesting. Most 4-letter words are CVCV (consonant vowel consonant vowel). So trying to shift the patterns around makes for a lot more interesting words.  There is a great word ladder that goes from OHIO to IOWA, and it isn’t easy to move the vowel patterns around like that.

I) Now, having an interesting but less common word in a ladder is cool. People learn new things. However, if you have a lot of new/obscure words in a row or near each other, it makes that part of the ladder almost unsolvable, so watch out for that.   Also, if you have hard words at the beginning or ends of ladders, there is a lot less help to getting that answer, so avoid that unless it is part of a theme or just an awesome word.

J) How much time does a ladder need? A good rule of thumb is that for every 10 words in a ladder, Sporclers will want a minute. For the Daily Dose, ladders that are 1-3 minutes (and on the shorter side of that) are ideal if you’re trying to get published.

K) Formatting the ladder is a good thing to do to make people happy when playing it, but that can always be fixed after.  If there are fewer than 25 “rungs/words” in the ladder, on the style page, set “Number of columns” to 1. Also, make sure the column widths are done so that the clue gets most of the space, 70/30%, for example.  Try to make the font size at least 9 point, because that is the most readable.

L) Now, there are no set rules, as these are just guidelines to make them the most fun to solve, but sometimes the themes are very constraining, and you might have to ‘bend the rules.’ Finding words for a ladder can be hard.  Connecting to HATE is easy; connecting to ONIX is hard. Most online dictionaries will allow you to use wildcard searches, or this site is just da bomb for making ladders, but it only contains non-proper nouns.

M) When writing your clues, make sure they are parallel.  Meaning if you’re cluing a verb, define it as a verb, if you’re cluing a plural, define it as a plural, etc. Use the internet to help you find good and correct definitions. The Merriam-Webster Dictionary is awesome for this.

LEAF: Good clue “Place where photosynthesis takes place.” Bad clue: “Things found on trees” [Singular versus plural]

HATED: Good clue: “Despised.” Bad clue: “Does not like” [Tense doesn’t match]

N) Now you’re ready to start, and you can search all the word ladders that have already been made so that you can make sure you’re not repeating a theme, or reconnecting the same two words again.

What Are Word Ladders?

Word ladders, which are also known as word chains, are an instructional tool used to help children learn to read and spell while developing phonics and vocabulary skills.

There’s a very basic process to use word ladders: Kids begin with one word that follows a phonics skill they’re working on. Then, they’re asked to make a bunch of other words by making simple changes to the letters of the word that came before.

When students add, remove, or rearrange letters, they have to analyze the sound-symbol relationship that words have.

👉 Example: If you’ve taught your students closed syllable words and all short vowels, your word ladder may look like: hat ➡ hit ➡ bit ➡big ➡ bug ➡ tug ➡ tag ➡ lag ➡ leg ➡ let.

Example of a completed word ladder on a chipboard with title "Word Ladders" at the top.

👉 Students start on the bottom rung and move up the ladder, changing the letters to represent the new sounds and spelling new words!

Through this simple chaining activity example, students have analyzed all five vowel sounds, plus beginning sounds and ending sounds.

👉 Repeated practice with this activity provides a bridge between phonological awareness and phonics, the two first building blocks of reading.

💗 Why We Love Them

Word ladders have TONS of benefits for students. In general, using them helps build kids’ decoding and encoding skills.

When using word ladders, students use phoneme-grapheme mapping, connecting sounds (phonemes) to written letters (graphemes).

This is an important research-based Science of Reading principle that has shown us how the brain stores words to become automatic sight words.

Word ladders force kids to listen to words, analyze the sounds, and connect them to written letters. The words usually change by one phoneme (sound), so students first need to decide which sound is changing in the word.

This is called phoneme manipulation, a phonemic awareness skill.

Then, students need to think about which grapheme (written letters) will represent the new sound, a phonics skill. It’s the perfect bridge between phonological awareness and phonics.

Best of all, children LOVE this activity! It’s challenging, fun, and rewarding when they make it to the top!

Students don’t even realize that they are engaged in a learning activity that reinforces important phonics skills they’ve been taught.

And it only takes a few minutes each day!

⛓️ Word Chaining Resource

To help you get started, we’re giving away a FREE resource for word chaining. Included are 8 word lists with 80+ CVC words. Also included is a word ladder with sound boxes for 3 phoneme words.

Time needed: 10 minutes.

How to Use Word Ladders

  1. The teacher dictates the first word on the list.
  2. The students repeat the word aloud.
  3. Students tap the sounds in word or use manipulatives for multisensory learning.
  4. Students spell the word in the first rung of the word ladder.

    They should say each sound aloud as they write the word.

  5. Students check their word, saying the sounds and blending it together to read the word.
  6. The teacher dictates the next word on the list, saying “Change the word to….”

    The teacher should NOT say which sound is being changed. This is for the students to figure out and practice.

  7. The teacher continues reading the words on the list while students chain each word, following the above procedure, until they reach the top of the ladder.

Looking for more? This is part of a bigger Word Chaining Resource that covers 780 words and tons of phonics skills, from CVC words to words with advanced diphthongs and everything in between.

Grab this awesome Word Ladder Resource for targeted phonics instruction.

Tips & Ideas

👉 Word ladders are great for kids in K-3 grade, or any students working on phonics.

👉 Word chaining activities are best used with small groups or whole groups with a teacher (or instructional assistant, volunteer, or advanced reader) reading the list aloud.

👉 Use this activity for encoding with small groups or with your entire class! Then, extend the activity and have students practice decoding the words quickly!

👉 Send the word ladders home for repeated review and practice.

👉✨This is the activity I pull out when administrators walk into my classroom to observe. My students are very familiar with the procedure (since we use it for each skill).

I always have extra ladders printed and sitting near my small group table, and then I quickly pull out my word lists and just like that! We’re doing meaningful and targeted phonics instruction that makes me look like a teacher of the year (with no prep)!

We hope you are encouraged to start implementing word ladders as a common instructional strategy within your classroom!

Word Ladder (Word golf), «цепочка слов» или «метаграмма» — это популярная словесная игра, состоящая в том, чтобы меняя в слове всего одну букву, шаг за шагом превратить одно слово в другое, часто противоположное по смыслу, например «ночь в день», «кошку в мышку», «козу в волка» или в английском языке проложить путь между следующими парами Сold-warm, live-dead, cat-dog. Причём, вершиной мастерства считается осуществить превращение за минимальное количество шагов.

Считается, что впервые этой игрой забавлялся и развлекал других Льюис Кэрролл, что вполне соответствует его лингвистически-математическому складу ума.

Вот пример очень длинной цепочки для превращения САТ в DOG (слова, набранные строчными буквами можно убрать, и задача всё равно будет решена):
CAT
cad
CAP
CUP
cud
cur
CUT
RUT

В одной из современных версий игры, очевидно, более простой, задание включает в себя не только первое и последнее слово, но и… определения всех слов стоящих в середине.

Например:

  • best from a position of superiority or authority
  • bast strong woody fibers obtained from the phloem of plants
  • bash a vigorous blow
  • bath a vessel containing liquid in which something is immersed
  • math a science with the logic of quantity and shape and arrangement

А чтобы было не так просто, определения можно разбросать или переставить местами.
Чем больше букв, тем сложнее играть, цепочка из трёх букв не так уж сложно выстроить, подобных слов в английском языке полно. А слов из 6 букв слишком мало, чтоб найти, но вот пример:
{“charge”, “change”, “chance”, “chancy”, “chanty”, “shanty”, “shanny”, “shinny”, “whinny”, “whiney”, “whiner”, “shiner”, “shiver”, “shaver”, “sharer”, “scarer”, “scaler”, “sealer”, “healer”, “header”, “reader”, “render”, “renter”, “ranter”, “ranker”, “hanker”, “hacker”, “hackee”, “hackle”, “heckle”, “deckle”, “decile”, “defile”, “define”, “refine”, “repine”, “rapine”, “ravine”, “raving”, “roving”, “roping”, “coping”, “coming”, “homing”, “hominy”, “homily”, “homely”, “comely”, “comedy”, “comedo”}

И даже из семи:
{“gimlets”, “giblets”, “gibbets”, “gibbers”, “libbers”, “limbers”, “lumbers”, “cumbers”, “cambers”, “campers”, “carpers”, “carters”, “barters”, “batters”, “butters”, “putters”, “puttees”, “putties”, “patties”, “parties”, “parries”, “carries”, “carrier”, “currier”, “curlier”, “burlier”, “bullier”, “bullies”, “bellies”, “jellies”, “jollies”, “collies”, “collins”, “colling”, “coaling”, “coaming”, “foaming”, “flaming”, “flaking”, “fluking”, “fluxing”, “flexing”, “fleeing”, “freeing”, “treeing”, “theeing”}

В русском языке сложнее, но есть и такие короткие, но всё же, цепочки:
Прудовик
Трудовик
Трутовик

Разумеется, такая цепочка «каша-торт» слишком проста:
Каша
Маша
Даша
Саша
Паша
Пара
Пора
Корт
Корт
Торт,
да и имена собственные (как и множественные числа, падежи и прочее) вообще не приветствуются в русских версиях словечных игр, будь то балда, эрудит, кроссворды или матаграмма. Тут ещё свою роль сыграла «шкация».

Данный раздел является ненаучным, в чём-то антинаучным, но тем не менее, всё там написанное соответствует дейстительности. Поэтому этот фрагмент слишком правдив, чтобы даже назвать его шуткой.

Шкация, которая, оказывается, не просто один из видов диминутива, а целый пласт культуры, зачастую не фиксируемый словарями, но существующий и пополняющий свой состав день ото дня, от личности к личности, от поколения к поколению и т.д. и т.п.

«Шкация» и несколько фактов о ней

  1. -шка -это на самом деле часть суффикса ушк/ишк/юшк/ашк/ошк/ышк/ешк/ёшк/яшк, разве, что не ЭШК, который единственный из всей компании отсутствует в русском языке и окончание -а.
  2. -шка (также -ша, -ха) добавляется в конце почти любых существительных, имён собственных, да что там, аббревиатур, можно даже усечённых с конца и/или с начала.
  3. Удивительно, но «картошка» стала понятнее и роднее, чем «картофель» ( однако, это не значит, что любое -фель можно заменить на — шка, ведь портфель, кафель и фалафель не назовут портшка, кашка и фалашка)
  4. Такие непохожие имена как Александр, Мария, Павел, Наталья, Дарья, в результате шкации начинают даже рифмоваться: Саша, Маша, Паша, Наташа, Даша…
  5. Суши-бар в Москве сменил название с насмешливого «Япошка» на ласковое «Япоша».
  6. Шказированные слова продолжают появляться снова и снова, например, компьютерные слова: авишка (файлы .avi), Википешка.
  7. Однако, такие слова как «мышка» сюда не попадают, ведь -ш здесь в корне, суффиксом является -к-, а это уже другая история.

Ну, вернёмся к цепочкам!

Из каждого ли англиского слова можно слепить новое? Оказывается, нет. В наше время к игре подключатся не только люди, но и компьютеры, совместными усилиями было найдено 671 слово из пяти букв, в котором невозможно поменять букву ради получения нового. Эта категория лексем получила имя «aloof», которое и является примером такого рода да и по смыслу значит «отчуждённый, в стороне».

Слово лестница (также известная как дублеты , слова-ссылка , переключающие-кроссворды , paragrams , laddergrams или слово гольфы ) является слово игры изобретен Льюисом Кэрроллом . Головоломка словесной лестницы начинается с двух слов, и для решения головоломки нужно найти цепочку других слов, чтобы связать эти два слова, в которой два соседних слова (то есть слова в последовательных шагах) отличаются на одну букву.

История

Льюис Кэрролл говорит, что он изобрел игру на Рождество 1877 года. Кэрролл изобрел игру в слова для Джулии и Этель Арнольд . Первое упоминание об игре в дневнике Кэрролла было 12 марта 1878 года, которое он первоначально назвал «Word-links» и описал как игру для двух игроков. Кэрролл опубликовал серию головоломок и решений со словесной лестницей, которые затем назвал «Дублетами», в журнале Vanity Fair , начиная с выпуска от 29 марта 1879 года. Позднее в том же году он был сделан в книге, изданной Macmillan и Ко .

Дж. Суррик и Л. М. Конант опубликовали книгу « Лестничные диаграммы таких головоломок» в 1927 году.

Владимир Набоков сослался на игру под названием «гольф» в романе « Бледный огонь» , в котором рассказчик говорит: «Некоторые из моих записей: ненависть — любовь в трех, девушка — мужчина в четырех и живая — мертвая в пяти ( с «одолжить» посередине) ».

Игра была возрождена в Австралии в 1990-х годах The Canberra Times как «Stepword».

Словесные лестницы часто используются в кроссвордах New York Times.

Правила

Игроку дается начальное и конечное слово . Чтобы выиграть игру, игрок должен постепенно менять начальное слово на конечное, создавая существующее слово на каждом шаге. Каждый шаг состоит из замены одной буквы. Например, ниже приведены семь кратчайших решений головоломки «лестница» между словами «холодный» и «теплый» с использованием слов из Collins Scrabble Words .

ХОЛОДНЫЙ → CO R D → COR M → W ORM → W A RM
ХОЛОДНЫЙ → CO R D → C A RD → W ARD → ВОЙНА М
ХОЛОДНЫЙ → CO R D → W ORD → W A RD → ВОЙНА М
ХОЛОДНЫЙ → CO R D → W ORD → WOR M → W A RM
ХОЛОДНЫЙ → W OLD → WO R D → WOR M → W A RM
ХОЛОДНЫЙ → W OLD → WO R D → W A RD → ВОЙНА М
ХОЛОДНЫЙ → W OLD → W A LD → WA R D → ВОЙНА М

Поскольку каждый шаг изменяет только одну букву, количество шагов должно быть не меньше расстояния Хэмминга между двумя словами — четыре в приведенном выше примере. В примере Льюиса Кэрролла есть дополнительный пятый шаг, поскольку третья буква изменяется дважды.

Часто головоломки со словесной лестницей создаются, где конечное слово имеет какие-то отношения с начальным словом ( синоним , антоним , семантический …). Именно так игра была первоначально разработана Льюисом Кэрроллом, когда она впервые появилась в Vanity Fair .

Некоторые варианты также позволяют игроку добавлять или удалять буквы и переставлять те же буквы в другом порядке ( анаграмма ).

Пятибуквенные словесные лестницы

Дональд Кнут использовал компьютер, чтобы изучить словарные лестницы пятибуквенных слов. Он считал, что лестницы из трехбуквенных слов были слишком легкими (хотя Льюис Кэрролл обнаружил, что для превращения APE в MAN требуется шесть ступеней), и что лестницы из шести букв были менее интересны, поскольку относительно небольшое количество пар шестибуквенных слов могло быть связано со словесной лестницей. Кнут использовал фиксированный набор из 5757 наиболее распространенных пятибуквенных слов английского языка, исключая имена собственные . Он точно определил, когда между двумя словами из сборника возникла словная лестница, через другие слова из сборника. Кнут обнаружил, что большинство слов связаны друг с другом, и он также обнаружил, что 671 слово из сборника не образуют словесную лестницу с другими словами. Он назвал эти слова «отчужденный», потому что «отчужденный» само по себе является примером такого слова.

  • Each player change one letter at a time, attempting to move from the starting word to the ending word.
  • As a rule, they can not change the order of the letters.
  • And each intermediate step must be a valid word.
