## What is Wordward?

CHANGE ONE LETTER. FIND THE PATH.

Wordward is the daily word ladder. Turn a START word into a TARGET word by changing exactly one letter at each rung. Every rung must be a real word. Find the shortest route, match the proven par, and earn a PERFECT.

ONE DAILY. EVERYONE PLAYS.

Every player gets the same ladder each day. Solve it in as few steps as possible, compare your result on the global leaderboard, and share a spoiler-free result with friends. Come back tomorrow to protect your streak and face a fresh path.

EVERY PUZZLE IS PROVEN

• Every ladder has a computer-verified solution and exact par
• Familiar words keep the puzzle clean, while a broad accepted dictionary rewards clever routes
• Long-press an accepted word to look it up
• Report a missing word directly for review
• Undo is always free

EVERY SOLVE COUNTS

Earn points for solving, puzzle difficulty, matching par, and speed. Extra steps and hints trade points for help, so every result tells a story. Chase personal bests, lifetime points, score achievements, daily quests, and a growing streak.

PLAY YOUR WAY

• One free rescue hint in every puzzle
• Always-solvable practice ladders
• Daily archive and full solve history
• Full-board themes that recolor the complete game
