Puzzle 5 - Foil
Alan Turing provided the theoretical underpinnings for the modern computer. The image of the microchip on the foil is a recognition of that achievement.
Complete the two sunflowers with four letter words spelt outwards from the central 50s, so that adjacent words differ by exactly one letter.
The example on the left shows how BANK can be changed to NOTE in four steps.
Once you have completed the sunflowers, find the central four letter word which differs by exactly one letter from each of the two words it’s connected to through the microchips, to solve the puzzle!


Each of the flowers is a circular word ladder. By filling in the missing letters we note those words which are linked to the centre word. These are BLUB and BLOW which are each one letter removed from the solution word of BLOB.
