Feetle tips and strategy

Treat every row as a bridge, not just a step toward the final spelling. The best move is the valid word that keeps several useful one-letter changes available next.

01

Change exactly one letter

Every new row must differ from the previous word in one position only. Keeping three letters fixed is the core Feetle rule.

02

Use the gold positions

A gold tile already matches FEET in that exact position. Preserve it when possible, but allow a temporary detour if the ladder requires one.

03

Think in short bridge words

Common four-letter words make the best bridges. Try changing vowels first when a consonant-heavy route stops producing valid words.

04

A shortest path may detour

The optimal route can introduce a letter that appears in neither the start nor FEET. Do not reject a useful word just because it looks like a step away.
