Hints and shortest answers can take different routes
This clue favors familiar words. The dated full answer uses the complete dictionary and may take fewer moves with less familiar vocabulary. Both routes follow the same one-letter rule.
The date and starting word identify our own puzzle. If your board shows another word, it may be an older unfinished round or a different game's daily puzzle. Enter that word in the solver instead of assuming this clue applies.
