Geocache Description:


Black to White

 

A simple little puzzle for those who like word games. Your aim is to change BLACK to WHITE in eight moves by changing one letter at a time. And then transfer the letter value you have changed to a number, i.e.: if you change the letter S to a B the numerical value will be 2. A=1 B=2 etc. In the case of a number value having two digits add the digits together i.e. S=19 T=20 U=21 they then become S=10 T=2 U=3.

Remember the letter value you change it to, NOT from.

There are clues for the word you need to change the previous word to.

Here is the puzzle:

BLACK to WHITE in 8 moves   

    A       Obstruct

    B       What’s the time?

    C       An abrupt heavy sound of an impact

    G     Long high pitched groaning sound 

    H     One of the two colours you are looking for
