Every word in order
The top + bottom rows = A certain waterfowl, and a body of water where you might see one. Keep in mind: The first word may be at the bottom.
- DUCK
- PUCK — Rubber disc used in ice hockey
- PUNK — ___ rock (brash music subgenre)
- PUNS — Wordplay jokes often met with groans
- PENS — Writing implements that may dry out if left uncapped
- PEND — Be unresolved
- POND
Why it works
The official ladder is DUCK → PUCK → PUNK → PUNS → PENS → PEND → POND; each neighbouring word changes one letter.
