Show a shortest ladder and end this one?
How to play
Get from the top word to the bottom word by changing one letter at a time. Every step has to be a real word, and letters keep their places.
Par is the fewest steps the ladder can take.
Hints count toward your result. Giving up ends the round, and on the daily ladder it ends your streak.
The daily ladder is the same for everyone on the same date and changes at midnight where you are.
