Word Chain Puzzles

The Word Chain puzzle works by creating a progressively longer and therefore potentially more difficult anagram.

At each stage a new letter is added which must be used with the letters already in place on the puzzle to create a new word. There are two versions of this puzzle. The first version does not tell you where the new letter goes on the puzzle, whilst the second version of the puzzle does tell you. Here is a sample Word Chain puzzle.

TA
??R
???E
L????
????I?
??E????

Depending on the complexity required you can progress up to a nine letter word; this sample chain finishes at seven letter lengths. The answers for this particular puzzle are: TA --> TAR --> RATE --> LATER --> RETAIL --> ATELIER

All word chain puzzles for publication come in your choice of PDF or EPS format and come presented in the format of a pyramid complete with solution ready for print publication. They are ideal for magazines that contain a mix of different puzzles, for instance some word puzzles, some number puzzles. Also ideal in children's puzzle publications.
