The River

In order to get past this level, you need to solve the riddles with the answers being SAND and FISH. Then you should transform them in the following ways:

• SAND -> HAND -> HAN -> TAN

• FISH -> FIST

This second part becomes more difficult. You should start with the source words: STRAIN, STRIFE, PAST

You will then need to transform them in the following ways:

• STRAIN -> TRAIN -> TREEN -> EENRT -> EENR -> EEN -> OWN -> NOW

• STRAIN -> TRAIN -> TREEN -> TREE

• STRIFE -> STRIF -> FIRST -> FIRS -> FIR

• PAST -> PAT -> NAT -> ANT

(Bolded words are used to unlock gates.)

The source words are: SOVEREIGN, SEA, TEN, DIME, STUMBLE, ABBEY, SLATE

Here are the suggested transformations:

• SOVEREIGN -> SOVERE -> RESOVE -> ROSEVO -> ROSE -> ROZE -> ZERO

• SEA -> SEEAA -> SE -> SEE -> SOO -> ZOO

• DIME -> PENNY -> PEONY

• TEN -> ONE -> OONEE -> OONE -> PONE -> ONEP -> HONEP -> PHONE

• STUMBLE -> UMBLEST -> UMBLE -> HUMBLE

• ABBEY -> ACBEY -> ACBE -> BEAC -> HBEAC -> BEACH

• SLATE -> ATESL -> ATE -> AATEE -> ATEEA -> ATFEA -> ATFE -> FEAT

(Bolded words are gate keys.)
