Grow the little word into the goal word. Every word along the way has to be a real word.
Each turn you can do one or both: swap two letters already in the word (tap one, then the other), and add one new letter anywhere (tap a + between letters, then pick a letter).
Press Lock in. A real word stays and uses a turn. Not a word? It bounces back, free.
Finish in the fewest turns possible and you grow a sunflower 🌻. One turn more grows a tulip 🌷, two more a daisy 🌼, and any more your rose wilts 🥀. Stuck? Step back a word, for one turn.
Somewhere on today's routes a golden seed ✨ is hidden: one word that still leads to the goal. Pass through it and your flower sparkles.
Every flower you grow is planted in your Garden, one per day.
Test guide (top corner): the fewest turns left from your word, how many fastest routes there are, and every word that could come next on one of them (busiest first). Green = you can still make par, yellow = you can still finish but not on par, ✕ = dead end. Tap it to hide.
