Conas a imrítear? / How to play
Turn the starting word into the goal word, one letter at a time. Use a four-letter Irish word for every step, and keep the letters in the same order.
Don’t forget your fadas! Changing A to Á counts as one move, so BAIN → BÁIN works. You can type a fada or tap the Á, É, Í, Ó and Ú keys below the puzzle.
Each box holds one letter. For example, BH uses two boxes: one for B and one for H.

Na focail / About the words
The game accepts 1,660 four-letter Irish words from GaelSpell, including some regional spellings and different forms of a word.
It’s a small word list, so a real Irish word might not be included. Names and words with spaces or punctuation aren’t accepted.
