Question

build a word ladder from TEA to hot

Answer 1

The word ladder from TEA to POT would be Tea- Pea- Pet- Pot.

EXPLANATION:  

• In the game of word ladder there are some general rules that a player follows. First the starting and the finishing word is decided, in this case the starting word is TEA and the finishing word is POT.
• It is a rule that a player is allowed to change only one letter of the last word to make a new word out of it, the letters can be changed from either side of the word and the goal of the player would be to reach that finishing word that was earlier decided.
• In the given question, if one letter is changed from the starting word, Tea and t is replaced by p it becomes pea, a new word.
• Then in Pea, the last letter a is replaced by t and it becomes Pet and finally the e in Pet is replaced by o to make Pot, hence we got the desired answer.
• This word ladder game was invented by author Lewis Carol in his novel Alice in the Wonderland.
