Hello, hullo, hallo, hillo and hollo are all accepted in Scrabble too.

But they all mean pretty much the same thing.

Man I didn't realise until very late that you have to enter all the words together! I did get used to and just finish it in the end though. The last one is cute, but perhaps sth like 'karate level' would be more fair...

Nice quiz. I might quibble over one word or another, but the quiz concept is unique, challenging and fun.

One more to add? tin (metal) tan (brown) ton (weight) tun (container/barrel) ten (number).

I might be stupid.

However, I was trying to change one vowel in each of the clued words to get a new word. It made sense to me to put five in each clue so you couldn't just spin through all of the possibilities.

Spent most of the time trying to get some version of

"eval, cut, sproat, affer, ???" to work

good quiz, but could REALLY use a better explanation. I had to give up pretty quickly on the first try just to figure out what I was supposed to do. Made sense after looking at the first answer; then got 11/12 on the second try, but still

I did the same thing as MiracleMax above. Maybe include a full example in the description? Again great quiz tho
