Summer Daily Dose Contest 2021 (Word Ladder)

Hi everybody, welcome to the Word Ladder round which is the first round of this year’s Daily Dose contest. Please, only post things related to the Word Ladder round on this thread. Anything about another round or the contest in general should go in the [main thread](https://www.sporcle.com/groups/topics/77fe221f1029). I am using a separate thread for each round so it will be easier for me and the other users to search for the quizzes and so it’s easier for me to track who has submitted and who hasn’t. Since you can’t currently reorder a playlist on a mobile device and since I don’t go on my computer at night, all entires will not be added into the playlist until after the submission deadline so that’s in the order of the matchups.

**Basic Info**


 * Each user must submit a Word Ladder by this Sunday (June 6) at 11:59 pm ET. I will sent out a reminder to you privately about a day before if you didn’t submit yet. If you submit after the deadline, your entry will not count. Your entry will also not count if it’s not a Word Ladder. Should your opponent not submit a Word Ladder, you will automatically win your matchup unless you don’t submit a Word Ladder either which in that case, you will both receive a loss. Also, this is not a single elimination tournament as everyone participating in this will be in the contest for the first five weeks so if you lose your matchup, you are still in it for at least another four weeks.
 * @rer2121 (the Word Ladder ladder curator), @jackaronson23, and I will review your Word Ladder quizzes on Monday, June 7. We will then vote on the quiz we think is better made. The results will likely be out by Monday afternoon or evening.
 * It is expected that the quizzes follow the same format as the ones published on the homepage. Please contact an experienced quiz-maker or the Word Ladder curator if you need help.
 * I also wanted to shout out that the Word Ladders that @Pigeonface, @Bratista, and @vrh28 submitted in this contest last year ended up getting published. There were also four other users from last year’s contest who also got published. Let’s hope we’ll get some more this year!
 * Just wanted to shout out to @Doctor_Arzt whose quick pick in this contest last year got published. There were also three others who aren’t participating this year that got published . Let’s hope we’ll see some of this year’s entries published!
