Every answer had to use L. The board accepted 47 words in all.

Six rungs, counts before words. The recap above already named the pangram, so this ladder is here for anyone replaying the board fresh rather than as a spoiler shield.

  1. What kind of words the board rewarded

    No answer is named.

    Word pairs with L and a vowel are key, as are common -ion and -ic suffixes. Longer words often have a Latin or formal feel.
