About this ladder

The detour
SWAMP and SNOOP differ in only 3 places, but par is 4. One move has to go sideways - changing a letter that was already right, or changing the same letter twice - before the ladder can finish.
The wide rung
The par route passes through STOOP, where 11 different single-letter changes all make real words - more than at any other rung on this ladder. Most of them lead nowhere useful.
The verdict
We rate this one gentle: few forks, little backtracking and everyday vocabulary throughout. Par time was 0:55.
