About this ladder
- The shape
- BLACK and STYLE differ in every place and par is 5, so this is as direct as a ladder can be: every single move fixes a letter that was wrong.
- The wide rung
- The par route passes through STALE, where 16 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
- A standard ladder: some real choices along the way, nothing exotic in the vocabulary. Par time was 1:20.
