## What is Lettrine?

Start from one word. Reach the target by changing a single letter at a time.

COLD → CORD → CARD → WARD → WARM

Every word along the way has to be a real one. That's the whole rule — the rest is your vocabulary and your patience.

ONE PUZZLE A DAY
The same one for everyone, in English and in French. Solving it extends your streak. Sharing it never gives the words away: all anyone sees is the shape of your path.

AN ENDLESS MODE
For when one puzzle a day stops being enough. Difficulty climbs with you, and doesn't climb back down.

NO PUNISHMENT
A rejected move costs nothing: no mistake counter, no lives, no timer. Backtracking is allowed, it just costs moves. The perfect path is the shortest one — you can win perfectly well without it.

YOU ARE NEVER STUCK
Hints are paid for with stars, and stars are earned by playing. You can buy them to move faster, but every puzzle is solvable without a single hint. That's verified for every puzzle in the calendar, one by one.

WHAT ISN'T HERE
No account to create. No lives to wait for. No ads during the daily puzzle. Your progress stays on your phone.

Written to be played standing on a train, one hand, two minutes.

## Version history (last 3 releases)

### 1.0.2 — 2026-10-14

Clearer rules to get you started:
• Before your first game, a page shows the rule on a full example, from the starting word to the goal.
• The guided try tells you which letter to replace, then lets you find the last move on your own.
• During your first games, a reminder explains what to do before your first move.
• Under the word, "solvable in 3" replaces "3 optimal".

### 1.0.1 — 2026-10-05

Important fixes:
• Purchased stars are now credited. If you bought stars and never received them, they arrive when you open this version.
• Watching a video to the end now gives its reward.

Also:
• Tap the star at the top of a game to open the shop without leaving your game.
• A hint now asks for confirmation before using a star.
• A message appears when no video is available.
