About Word Ladder

Word Ladder is a quiet, satisfying word puzzle with a single rule: change one letter at a time to turn the starting word into the target. Every step in between has to be a real word.

The constraint is what makes it interesting. A wrong turn can strand you with no legal move, so the puzzle rewards thinking backwards from the target as much as forwards from the start. Solving it efficiently earns the best rewards.

It is built for portrait and loads in a browser tab with no download and no account. On cool games spot it is filed under word and tagged puzzle.

Press Play and start climbing.
