Yellow Love
Language brain teasers are those that involve the English language. You need to think about and manipulate words and letters.
Marge was looking for love in all of the wrong places. That is until Homer forced his way into her life. The problem was that her family was keeping her away from him. Can you help her by changing MARGE to HOMER in ten steps? You can only change one letter at a time and each step must be a real word.
Answer
MARGE
MERGE
SERGE
SURGE
PURGE
PUREE
PURER
CURER
CORER
COMER
HOMER

| Ok.... I worked really hard on this one!! Using the clues that I THOUGHT were hidden in the wording, this is what I came up with: (and it works, btw!!)
MARGE
BARGE - (Homer FORCED his way into her life.)
BARRE - (Marge was looking for love in all the wrong places, eg. bars.)
BARDE - (Marge's family "barred" her from seing him!)
BARDS
BANDS
BONDS
BONES
HONES
HOMES
HOMER
Now what I COULDN'T figure out was.... where the YELLOW LOVE came in!!!
And I STILL got it wrong!!  |

| "Yellow Love" refers to their skin color. And you read WAY too much into it! I appreciate all of the work you're putting in, though. That's dedication.  |
