Word Ladder Lite

Change one letter per step to go from start to target.

Word ladders were invented by Lewis Carroll in 1877. The challenge: transform one word into another by changing a single letter at each step, with every intermediate step being a valid English word. It's a workout for spelling, vocabulary breadth, and creative problem-solving.

How to play: Start with the given word and change one letter to form a new valid word. Repeat until you reach the target. Try to do it in the recommended number of steps or fewer.
