What is Letrilo?

Editor takes
A daily word ladder is a lovely little lexical workout, though I wish the clue were as witty as the challenge itself.
The one-letter-change constraint keeps it clean, but 'as few moves as possible' needs a better measure of what counts as optimal.
It's like a daily speedrun puzzle where everyone shares the same seed; I just wish there were achievements for beating the par.
How to play Letrilo
You are given a starting four-letter word and a target four-letter word. In each move, change exactly one letter to form another valid four-letter word, continuing until you reach the target. Try to complete the ladder in as few steps as possible.
Tips & strategy
- Work backward from the target as well as forward from the start to spot a connecting word.
- Try switching vowels first; common vowel combinations often create useful intermediate steps.
- Keep a mental list of simple, everyday four-letter words, since obscure words are unlikely to be intended.
- If one letter position leads to a dead end, try changing a different position instead.
- Don't fixate on the first route you find; a slightly different path may be shorter.
