Start at SCARY and finish at BLAND. The shortest ladder takes 8 steps.
4 of the 5 letters differ, so no ladder can be shorter than 4 steps; par 8 means the best route needs 4 detours through a letter that is in neither word.
Letter 3 already matches the target.
Tap a letter of the last word, type the new letter, press Enter. Rules and tips for Word Ladder
