how a round goesCOLD becomes WARM one letter at a time — CORD, WORD, WORM — each plank of the bridge a real word.

Two unrelated words face each other across a chasm, and you both race to plank a bridge between them — every plank a real word one letter off the last. COLD, CORD, WORD, WORM, WARM. First to ten crossings takes the match.
