1-The idea of letter golf in to change one word to another and do it in par, a given number of strokes. Thus to change COW to HEN, In three strokes, COW, HOW. HEW, HEN.
2-You can change only one letter at a time.
3-You must have a complets werd, of common usage, for each jump. Slang words and abbrevia- tlons don't count.
4-The order of letters aannot be changed.
