Food Word Ladder

Climb from one food word to another by changing a single letter each step. Every step has to be a real word. Can you match par?

How to play

  1. You start at the top word and need to reach the bottom one.
  2. Type a new word that changes exactly one letter, like FISH to FIST. Letters stay in place; you can't rearrange them.
  3. Keep going until you type the bottom word. Par is the fewest steps it can be done in.
  4. Stuck? A hint tells you which letter to change, and a second hint shows the word.

Tips

  • Look for letters the two words already share, and leave those alone.
  • Vowels are easy to swap. Change a vowel to open up new words.
  • Undo is free. Backing up a step often finds a shorter way.
