Strategy tips
- Compare the current word with the target, then look for a one-letter change that creates another ordinary word.
- Each curated ladder accepts its intended sequence and rejects entries that change zero or multiple letters. Easy needs four changes, medium five, and hard six.
- Type four letters and press Enter, or use the labeled alphabet and Submit step controls. Undo removes an accepted step and one hint reveals the next valid word.
