The Word Version of Cows and Bulls

As a teenager strapped for cash, but with an insatiable appetite for books, my only resource was a small second-hand bookshop in Bangalore. It occupied a dingy little stall, sandwiched between a condiments store and photocopy place. I have gone ice-cream-less for weeks, to invest my little all in its treasures.

So what, my dear readers ask, has this to do with games? I will tell you.

Among the treasures this place contained was - 'The Complete Works of Lewis Carrol'. The attraction was twofold - it was 3 inches thick, ensuring the summer vacation would be well spent, and it cost less than a hundred. Brought it home, and discovered that it not only contained stories and poems, but also ORIGINAL GAMES by Carrol himself.

One of those games is the Word Version of Cows and Bulls. A comment on the previous post by Bharat brought to mind this great game. (Let me know Bharat, if this is the one you are talking about) You can play it with a friend, or all by yourself.

Let's start with a 3 letter challenge that goes:

Put the PIG in the STY

You write 'PIG' on a paper, and change one letter at a time, till you arrive at 'STY'. All words in between have to make sense. Like this:

PIG

PIT

SIT

SAT

SAY

STY

There you go! :)
