If you've been paying attention to weather (and who hasn't), you know that California has been in a terrible drought for years. It doesn't seem that way at all recently, as we've had solid rain for days here at Curious headquarters. And that means we've had tons of snow in the mountains around Lake Tahoe.
Can you make a word ladder to change RAIN into SNOW?
Remember: a word ladder is a series of words, starting from one word and ending with another, where each subsequent word is a one-letter change from the previous word (without rearranging, adding, or removing letters). And, of course, each step is a valid English word. For instance, you can change CAT to DOG like this: CAT => COT => DOT => DOG.

We've done word ladders before, and many are simple, especially with short words (e.g., 3 or 4 letters). But this one is pretty tricky if we stick to common English words. Here's a solution:
- RAIN
- RAID
- SAID
- SLID
- SLIP
- SLOP
- SLOW
- SNOW
