Nobody wants to play my Lucky Ladders game. I don't know why, but I guess I'll just carry on.

Would you like a letter below BETTY, or above DRESSING?

Probably because you haven't explained what we're meant to do.

All right, Phil! Sorry for the delay!

Two phrases are linked together that we can see so far. The first phrase starts with BETTY, and the last phrase ends with DRESSING. Depending on which phrase you think you can complete correctly, you can choose a letter below BETTY, or above DRESSING. Each letter that appears is a clue which can help you to fill in the entire word. You can take a guess if you think you can completely fill in the word.

So, would you like a letter below BETTY, or above DRESSING?

What? The first phrase starts with Betty? OK - Betty went to the shops. Do I win?

I would've said Betty Ford Clinic myself.

Betty doesn't explain this properly.
