Every word in order

The top + bottom rows = A compound word for a collection of instructions and strategies for a business. Keep in mind: The first word may be at the bottom.

  1. PLAY
  2. CLAY — Moldable material in an art class
  3. CLAP — Noisily put your hands together
  4. CLOP — Sound from a trotting horse's hoof
  5. COOP — Place for chickens on a farm
  6. COOK — Prepare a hot meal
  7. BOOK

Why it works

The official ladder is PLAY → CLAY → CLAP → CLOP → COOP → COOK → BOOK; each neighbouring word changes one letter.
