SyZyGies


One of Lewis Carroll's favourite creations! Lewis Carroll invented this game in 1879, choosing the name "Syzygies". The word comes from Greek and means 'yoke' or 'conjunction'. Adrian Hoad-Reddick has refined the original puzzle to allow only Heads and Tails to be used to form the new words. His Heads and Tails version is what I present here.

Rules:
Change one (red coloured) word to the other by stepping through other words sharing at least two head or tail letters of the previous word. New (real) words must be formed by adding letters AFTER tails or BEFORE heads.
