## What is WordLadder?

How few steps can you take? Change one letter at a time to transform the start word into the target —every step must be a real word. A fresh puzzle every day, the same for everyone.

Word Ladder is a daily word puzzle that's easy to learn and deeply satisfying to solve. Start with a word, change one letter, and build a chain to reach the goal. The fewer steps you take, the better your score.

DAILY PUZZLES
A new puzzle every day in 4, 5, or 6 letters. Everyone gets the same puzzle, so you can compare with friends.

PAR SCORING
Every puzzle has a par — the fewest steps possible. Can you match it? Beat it? Share your result and find out how you stack up.

SHARE YOUR RESULTS
Share a spoiler-free emoji grid that shows your path. Green means you're on pace, yellow means you took a detour.

STREAKS & STATS
Track your daily streak, win rate, and average score. How long can you keep it going?

HINTS WHEN YOU'RE STUCK
Use a hint to get unstuck. Free players get one per puzzle — or watch a short video for another.

PREMIUM UPGRADE (ONE-TIME PURCHASE)
Go ad-free, get unlimited hints, unlock the full puzzle archive, and recover a lost streak. Pay once, keep it forever.
