Very good. Tricky!
I have seen you do this type before Gizzer, but believe it or not, I still can't solve them. (Learning though)
That was a good one. I looked at the groups before I read the instructions & I made a series of mar, car, cart and cant, changing a letter at a time. I liked yours better though. =)
Great concept, keep up the good job!
