Word Taper

How small can you go?

Word Taper starts you with a word. Your job is to whittle it all the way down to a single letter word, A or I, one step at a time. Remove a letter, swap a letter or add a letter, but every step has to be a real word.

SLATE → SLAT → SAT → AT → A

Sounds easy? Some words fight back.

HOW TO PLAY
- Tap a letter to remove it, change it, or add a new one
- Every step must spell a real word
- Reach A or I to finish the puzzle
