## What is Word Ladder?

Guess the hidden word in six tries.

Choose a 3, 4 or 5-letter challenge and start typing. As soon as the final letter is entered, your guess is checked automatically.

Every guess gives you clear clues:

- Green: the letter is correct and in the right position
- Yellow: the letter is in the answer but in a different position
- Gray: the letter is not in the answer

Use each result to narrow down the possibilities and solve the hidden word before your six guesses run out.
