Spoiler-light hints for Poople #411

Start word PAIN. I am not putting the whole ladder in the first paragraph.

1. Par is 5. The archive scale calls that Easy.
2. Move 1 changes letter position 1, P to L.
3. The word you land on is LAIN. The rest of the line is on today's answer.

I took the par from the client before I looked at the path. On this puzzle that number is 5, so I stopped looking for a shorter ladder.
