You can only change one letter of the word in each move.
Give it a try.

How about "Lake Titicaca"?

I knew someone who was a Jeopardy champion once and the only one of his 'questions' I can remember is "What is Lake Titicaca, Alex?"

Hi, I'm taking an English Literature exam tomorrow and today our class was given a list of words which would be good to use in our essays.

This list included 'zeitgeist' which means the same as 'spirit of the age'. As in "John Fowles captures the spirit of the [Victorian] age through his pastiche of a Victorian novel"

But "Fowles captures the zeitgeist through his pastiche of a Victorian novel" frankly sounds ridiculous. How WOULD I use it in a sentence?

I think it's a great word and I'd like to use it instead of 'spirit of the age' should the opportunity should arise; however, I don't want to use it incorrectly.

Can anyone help?

Can someone please help me translate my ideas from english to spanish for a thank you note following up a job interview? I need it to be really, really precise since it's for a job interview, so please only respond if you are sure about the grammar. Thank you very much!

This is the meaning I want to convey, "Thank you very much for taking the time to meet with me and explore whether I may be a good fit at Company X. I would love to be part of your team. I look forward to hearing from you! . . . . . Sincerely. " It doesn't have to be a literal word-for-word translation-I just want to same meaning, or something close.

Explain how you would answer this question in detail.
Would you use logic or set up a formula?

Once upon a time there lived a beautiful princess named Rowena who wished to be married. Her father the king, not desiring her to wed, devised a test that a suitor must pass before being granted the hand of the princess. Before the man would be placed three boxes; one of gold, one of silver, and the third of lead. The potential groom had to correctly choose which of the three boxes contained a picture of the princess. There were inscriptions on the boxes as follows: on the gold box was written, “The picture is in me.”, on the silver box was written, “The picture is not in me.” and on the lead box was written, “The picture is not in the gold box.” The king would also give the young man a hint by saying, “Only one of the statements written on the boxes is true.” Which box contained the picture of the princess?

im writin a story
and its about ppl lookin back their history and judge what they did

title will be
'the records of history'

but i think its gramatically wrong

should it be 'the archives of history'?

its not like its literally archives.
the archive itself doesnt exist physically, only in ppl's minds

so should it b 'the records of history' or 'the archives of history'?
i think its 'the records of history'
