LETTER GOLF.
VERY PLAIN.,
It should be an easy matter to change JOHN to MARY, the names are so plain.
1-The idea of letter golf is to change one word to another and do it in par a given num- ber of strokes. Thus to change COW TO HEN, in three strokes, COW, HOW, HEW. HEN.
2-You can change only one letter at a time,
8-You must have a complete word, of common usage, for each jump. Slang words and abbreviations don't count,
4--The order of letters can- not be changed.
One solution is printed on another page of this issue.
