About Word Ladders: Word Puzzle Game
Word Ladders is the classic word puzzle game: turn one word into another by changing one letter at a time. CAT becomes FAT, FAT becomes FAN, and every rung on the ladder has to be a real word. Then come back every day for a fresh Daily Chain and build your streak.
Each puzzle takes a minute or two, there is no clock on screen, and there are no lives or energy to wait for. It's a calm word puzzle for a coffee break, a commute, or winding down at night.
HOW TO PLAY
• Start at the top word and climb down to the bottom word.
• Fill each row with a real word that changes just one letter from the row above.
• Letters turn red the moment they break the rules, so you always see where a step went wrong.
• Stuck? Use a hint to fill a row, or reveal the answer and keep climbing.
DAILY CHAIN
A new word puzzle every day. You get only the first and last words of a long chain, and you find everything in between:
• Word ladders join words of the same length.
• Add-a-letter links grow a word by one letter, guided by a cryptic clue: FELINE JACKET takes you from CAT to COAT.
• Each word you find unlocks the next ladder, until the whole chain is solved.
• Finish today's chain to earn bonus coins and keep your daily streak going. Miss a day and the streak starts again.
FEATURES
• Hundreds of word ladders: hand-picked word puzzles with 3, 4 and 5 letter words that start easy and get trickier as you go, with new ones added all the time.
• Instant feedback: live checking spots a mistake as you type, so you learn new words instead of guessing.
• Hints when you need them: earn coins for every puzzle you solve, collect free coins every day, and spend them on hints.
• 11 themes: pick the look you like, from bright and colorful to a dark theme for late-night puzzling.
• Track your progress: see levels solved, your fastest and average solve times, and the hints you've used.
• Leaderboards and achievements: climb the weekly Google Play Games leaderboard and unlock speed achievements for solving a ladder in under 30 seconds.
• Home screen widget: jump straight back into your current level.
• Play offline: every puzzle is built in, so you can play anywhere.
A WORD GAME FOR WORD LOVERS
If you enjoy crosswords, cryptic clues, word search or spelling games, you'll feel right at home. Word ladders (also called word chains or doublets) were invented by Lewis Carroll in the 1870s, and they're still one of the best brain games for stretching your vocabulary and keeping your mind sharp.
Word Ladders is a free-to-play word game. It shows ads, and optional in-app purchases let you remove ads or buy extra coins.
