What Is a Word Ladder?

A classic word transformation puzzle that rewards strategy over luck.

Play today's WordHatch puzzle

A word ladder game online starts with one word and ends with another. You change one letter at a time, and every intermediate step must be a valid word. That creates a chain of tiny decisions where each move affects the next options.

Unlike random guessing games, a daily word puzzle ladder rewards planning. You can often solve faster by identifying shared letters between the start and target words, then preserving those letters as anchors.
