Word Ladder

Word Ladder is a puzzle game where you change one letter at a time to turn a start word into a target word. Every step must be a valid common English word, and the goal is to reach the target in as few moves as possible. The game keeps track of your move count, the optimal shortest path, and awards stars based on how close you come to the perfect solution. With more than 45 curated puzzles across three difficulty levels, Word Ladder offers a steady challenge for word puzzle fans. Three-letter puzzles (Easy) are quick to pick up, four-letter puzzles (Medium) add more depth, and five-letter puzzles (Hard) test your vocabulary and strategy. Each puzzle displays an optimal move target so you know the best possible score to aim for. The game includes three progressive hint levels: first showing the optimal move count, then hinting at the next letter to change, and finally suggesting the exact next word. A daily puzzle mode offers a fresh challenge every day, and your best scores are saved locally. The on-screen keyboard makes mobile play smooth, and the confetti celebration on completion adds a satisfying finish.
