The contestant's answer word A is acceptable if it is the same length as the target word, and the i-th letter of A is either the i-th, (i-1)th, or (i+1)th letter of W, for all i in the range of the length of A. (The first letter of A must match either the first or second letter of W, since the 0th letter of W doesn't exist.
