Turn the top word into the bottom by changing a letter a time
In each puzzle, the first and last word of a 5 word sequence are given, and your task is to determine the 3 intermediate words. Each word has exactly 1 different letter than the word before it. For instance steel, style, and tapes could follow steal.
Each puzzle also has been programmatically created and ensured to only have one possible solution. All the 5 letter words used are common. Finally, for puzzle solving ease, all the intermediate blocks are editable, and we encourage using tab and shift + tab to quickly type in words.
