SHIFT is a daily word puzzle where one word changes into another, one letter at a time. Each day, everyone gets the same challenge: one start word, one target word, and just six moves to make the shift. Every guess must be a valid word, and each move can only change one letter — so every step matters. Play the daily puzzle, compare your result on the leaderboards, earn Champion trophies for global wins, and share your score without revealing the solution. Create or join Private Leagues for free and compete with friends on your own daily, weekly, and monthly leaderboards. Want more puzzles? SHIFT+ unlocks extra ways to play, including Puzzle Packs and the Daily Archive, so you can keep solving beyond today’s challenge. Features include: • A new daily word puzzle for everyone • Simple one-letter-at-a-time gameplay • Six moves to solve each puzzle • Daily, weekly, and monthly leaderboards • Free Private Leagues with friends • League invite codes and shareable league invites • Champion trophies for global leaderboard wins • Shareable results that hide the solution • Puzzle Packs with hundreds of extra puzzles • Daily Archive to play past puzzles • Clean, focused design built for quick daily play • Clear tutorial and practice puzzle to help you learn SHIFT is easy to learn, satisfying to solve, and perfect for anyone who loves word games, daily challenges, leaderboards, trophies, and friendly competition.
