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