A daily word ladder

One letter
at a time.

Change one letter per move and climb from word to word until you reach the goal. Find the shortest route and you're at par.

Free to play. Just a name — no email needed.

How to play

Simple rules. Clever routes.

Every ladder has a start word, a goal word and a hidden par — the fewest moves it can be done in.

1

Change one letter

Swap a single letter to make a new real word. Every rung of the ladder has to be a word.

2

Climb to the goal

Green tiles show letters already in place. Keep climbing until your word matches the goal.

3

Beat par

Par stays hidden until you finish. Then see the shortest route and how close you came.

Features

Five minutes a day, done right.

The Daily

One ladder, the same for everyone. Solve it each day to keep your streak alive.

Endless practice

Easy (3–4 steps), Medium (5–6) or Hard (7+). Play as many ladders as you like.

Streaks
