Okay, so I was messing around with word puzzles the other day, and I stumbled upon this “Meet and Greet” word ladder thing. It seemed simple enough at first, so I decided to give it a shot.
I started by grabbing a pen and a piece of paper. You know, the old-fashioned way. I wrote down “MEET” at the top and “GREET” at the bottom, trying to figure out how to connect them by changing just one letter at a time.
My First Attempt
- MEET
- MEAT
- …stuck!
Yeah, I got stuck pretty quickly. “MEAT” seemed like a good start, but then I couldn’t find a word to bridge the gap. I erased “MEAT” and tried a different path.
Trying Again
This time, I thought, “Okay, let’s focus on changing the vowels first.”
- MEET
- MET
I changed to MET. It look likes a good way. Then I focused on how I can get “GREET”.
The “Aha!” Moment
- MEET
- MET
- GET
- GOT
- GROT
I changed to GROT from GOT. Finally!It is done!
The Full answer
- MEET
- MET
- GET
- GOT
- GROT
- GREAT
- GREET
I filled in the rest, and boom! There it was, the complete word ladder. It’s kind of satisfying to see how the words transform, one letter at a time. I scribbled down the answer key on my paper, just in case I wanted to try it again later or show it to someone.
It wasn’t exactly rocket science, but it was a fun little brain teaser. And hey, I got the answer, so that’s a win in my book!
