Stepwords

Answers form a ladder in which each word is an anagram of the previous one plus one extra letter, and every rung has its own clue. Lifelines, letter reveals and extensions cost missteps that lower the star rating. A main puzzle and a shorter Quick puzzle appear each day, with archives and player-submitted puzzle packs.
