Doublets were word-link puzzles first created by Lewis Carroll. Changing only one letter at a time, and using the clues along the side, go from "ache" to "pain"... or vice versa!

I could go for some real cupcakes. ☺

LOL I sent in the doublets and the Not Thirds too :) I'm with you, though, on these sliders. They're definitely not my cup of tea.

Lisa Kay wrote: "I could go for some real cupcakes. ☺"I made some mini-cupcakes for a retirement party at work and still have some left over to eat the rest of this week.
I had chocolate mocha cupcakes today from a local bakery that I just discovered. They were really good.

PUZZLE #25: B'dazzled Blue
It took me all day to do this puzzle (I actually hate sliders but for some reason I keep doing them! LOL) but I finally completed it.

Since we already got those cupcakes, you are only solving it for fun :D
Just as I suspected I have no patience for sliders (I gave up after maybe 30 seconds). However, I am apparently awesome at doublets. Who knew? Submitted doublets and the 3 that aren't 3rd for Tickle Me Pink!
It's the same for me. Sliders test my patience as well but I do it because I cannot let it win. Stacie wrote: "Just as I suspected I have no patience for sliders (I gave up after maybe 30 seconds).

Stacie wrote: "Just as I suspected I have no patience for sliders (I gave up after maybe 30 seconds)."30 seconds! LOMBO! Not very long, Stacie. Good thing you're killing the doublets.
Vi wrote: "It's the same for me. Sliders test my patience as well but I do it because I cannot let it win."Yes, Vi, you are pretty tenacious.
Eni wrote: "wow LK that circle puzzle made my eyes go like this O_O but it's cool lol."And you still beat ❀Tea❀! Impressive, Eni! See what practice does?

It certainly is a love-hate relationship. I think I'm trying to prove something to myself - how many ways can I frustrate myself. LOL
