    Rules and scoring

    Every step must be a dictionary word of the same length and change exactly one letter. Words cannot be reused. You may take up to the displayed move limit; the optimal distance is the shortest path found by the game.

    Score starts at 1,000, loses 150 points for each move beyond optimal, 125 points per hint, and up to 500 points for time. Undoing a word does not erase the move from your score.
