About this ladder

The detour
COURT and WORLD differ in only 4 places, but par is 6. That is 2 moves that do not bring you directly closer to the target, which is where this one catches people out.
The wide rung
The par route passes through FOUND, where 8 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 1:25.
