01

The rulebook

Change one letter. Keep the chain alive.

Step 01

Start with today's word

The public puzzle supplies the beginning. We never generate or infer a daily start word.

Step 02

Make one legal change

Swap exactly one position. Do not add, remove, or rearrange letters.

Step 03

Reach the target efficiently

Every intermediate entry must remain a word. Fewer valid steps make a stronger route.

02

Before the spoiler

Hints arrive as sealed envelopes.

Open only the amount of help you want. The full path stays behind a deliberate final action.
