## What is WordLink?

WordLink is a daily word ladder. Change one letter at a time and turn the start word into the goal word — in as few moves as you can.

Two fresh puzzles every day: a 4-letter ladder and a 5-letter ladder. Every rung has to be a real word, you can't reuse a word you've already used, and every puzzle has an "optimal" number of moves. Hitting it is the whole game.

COLD → CORD → WORD → WARD → WARM

Then take it worldwide. Solving close to optimal earns season points — a perfect solve is worth the most — plus a bonus for finishing both of the day's puzzles and a bonus for keeping a daily streak alive. Seasons run for one calendar month, so the board wipes and everybody starts level on the 1st. There's an All-Time board and a Today board too.

Word ladders were invented by Lewis Carroll in 1877. This is that puzzle, with a new one every single day.

WHAT YOU GET
• A brand-new 4-letter and 5-letter puzzle every day at midnight Eastern
• Beat the optimal move count — there's always a best answer to chase
• Monthly season leaderboard, plus All-Time and Today boards
• Daily streaks, and a bonus for solving both puzzles in the same day
• Full stats: games played, solved, current and best streak, move distribution
• Plays completely offline — the puzzles and the dictionaries are inside the app
• Light and dark themes, and an optional on-screen keyboard
• Pick your own display name, or roll a random one
• No sign-up, no account, no email address, no ads, no in-app purchases

Free, and no timer — just the shortest path from one word to another.
