## What is WordLadder?

Start with one word. Change a single letter — add, remove, or swap — to make a new valid word. Do it again. And again. How long can you keep the chain going before time runs out?

WORDLADDER is a fast-paced word game that rewards vocabulary, quick thinking, and pattern recognition. Every session starts fresh. Every word you chain earns your score a step higher.

HOW TO PLAY
• You start with a random word
• Type any valid English word that differs by exactly one letter (substitution, insertion, or deletion)
• A countdown timer keeps the pressure on — chain a word to earn bonus time
• Your score = total words chained. Higher is better.

FEATURES
• Endless survival mode — no fixed goal, just keep going
• Global leaderboard — compete with players worldwide
• Daily lives system — 3 games per day, or watch a short ad for more
• Clean, distraction-free design built for focus
• Light and dark mode

COMPETE GLOBALLY
Your display name and country appear on the leaderboard. Leave them blank to play as Anonymous. Under-13 players always appear anonymous, full stop.

A word game for everyone — from casual players to hardcore word nerds.
