## What is Letterstep?

Letterstep is a live word game. Everyone gets the same starting word at the same moment. Change one letter, make a real word, and step again. The longest chain in three minutes wins the round.

PLAY LIVE WITH THE WORLD
• A fresh 4-letter or 5-letter word every few minutes
• Hundreds of players on one board, one countdown
• Watch the leaders climb while you play

TURN A WORD INTO A STAIRCASE
STEP → STOP → SHOP → SHIP → SLIP → SLAP. Every real word counts as one step. Dead end? Undo your last move and try another path. Rare words earn their own celebration.

1 VS 1 DUELS
Challenge a rival to a turn-by-turn duel on one shared chain. Twenty seconds a turn, three minutes a match, the pot goes to the winner. Climb from Bronze to Legend as your cups grow.

POWERS
Reveal a move, get a second chance, buy extra time, double a word, keep your cups safe with a shield. Pick three before each duel.

LEAGUES, SEASONS, MISSIONS
Weekly seasons, daily and weekly missions, win streaks, a world ranking and a country ranking. Collect mascots and wear them in duels.

FRIENDS
Sign in with Apple or Google, add friends with a code, see who is online, and send a duel.

Letterstep is free to play. Gold buys powers and league entries, never a win. One optional purchase removes the ads between games forever.
