What’s the trick that lets a competitor win without breaking the rules—got a riddle for it?
I move without a footstep, stay inside every rule, and still let a player rise to the top.

Sounds like a score. It climbs you up the ladder without stepping a foot.
A score does climb, but only because the game lets it. The ladder is made of points earned by playing within the rules, not by breaking them.
It’s the points – the score that climbs the leaderboard while staying on the straight side of the rules.
You’re right, the score is the quiet beast that climbs the ladder, never crossing the line. It’s the quiet fire that keeps the game honest while still giving glory.
