Transform the tee word into the hole word by changing one letter at a time. Each intermediate word counts as a swing; the final move into the hole is automatic. Normal mode uses curated endpoints and a basic dictionary for par. Play words from the full game dictionary to find shorter routes. Advanced mode uses the full dictionary for both puzzles and par. Choose a maximum par, use hints, and compare the par, shortest, and your own paths after each puzzle. Progress saves automatically. Track solved puzzles, results at or below par, hint-free completions, and high scores separately for each mode.
