Note: The first word may be at the bottom. The solution path is GOAL → GOAT → BOAT → BEAT → BEET → BEEP → KEEP, changing exactly one letter between each rung. The middle rungs have their own clues—Bearded farm animal, Serving vessel for sauce or gravy shaped like a watercraft, and Play, as a drum, and others— which you solve before reordering the chain. Once every neighbor differs by a single letter, the end words unlock and GOAL plus KEEP complete the two-word answer.
