The word ladder below was formed from six-letter words that can all be found in the TWL Scrabble Dictionary.
Each rung differs from the ones above and below it by exactly one letter, although the order of the letters may change.
A vandal has removed every other rung. Can you fix the ladder by reconstructing the missing words?
Note: there may be more than one solution for any rung - all valid entries will be accepted!
