Teaser Of The Day No. 182

[Carl]

This is a rhyming word ladder. Most people will have to work forwards and backwards to get all ten words. You will add or swap a letter to get the answers.

The first two have been done as an example:

1. The old adage says to do this again. = TRY: From the adage "If, at first, you don't succeed, try, try again."
2. Add one, make a city of fame way back when. = TROY: The Greek city which was the site of the Trojan War.

----

3. OY becomes IP and you'll have a nice fall.
4. Change I to A and you'll catch it all.

5. Insert an M: make an invention of Chaplin.
6. Change T to C and with pain you'll be grapplin'.

7. Replace second with H: a winner for sure!
8. Lose second to last: you'll want balm for a cure.

9. Drop the H to make something to go on your head.
10. Change one and an adage will leave this thing dead.


Answers will be provided next Thursday evening after 21:00.
