Try a letter-moving word puzzle preserved and rewritten from the former Crafty Puzzles blog, with a hint and explanation.
Move one letter from the first word to the second so that the result is a pair of synonyms or near-synonyms.
- Our — Start
- Strip — Tumble
- Clause — Idea
- Cash — Broom
- Plight — Lam
Reveal the method
Move a single letter between the words. For example, moving the letter s from “boast” to “hip” gives “boat” and “ship”.
