I would have had trouble guessing the purple today if they hadn't been leftovers. I know about salmon ladders because I worked in environmental engineering. They are built to help the salmon get over dams in their spawning runs. I don't know about Word ladders at all, even though I work with words every day. 
Tough Wordle today!
