Work your way from the start word at the top down to the GOAL waiting at the bottom of your board — change one letter at a time. Every rung must be a real word.
Changed A→O — one letter, still a real word. Green means that letter already matches the goal.
Notice S, R and E were green from the start — green marks a match with the goal, not the letter you just changed. Change a letter to the wrong one and its tile stays grey.
Par 5 Par is the step count of our best route. Matching it is a perfect solve — beating it is rare glory.
Difficulty rises through the week — Monday is gentle, the weekend is hard. The word beside the par in the header says where today sits.
Stuck? After you've been at it a while, a reveal option appears — if chosen, it shows the answer and ends your streak.
