02 · How it plays
Every rung a real word.
- 01
Change one letter
Tap a letter on the bottom rung and choose a new one. Exactly one letter changes per move.
- 02
Keep it a real word
Every rung has to be a real word, and no word can repeat. If it isn't a word, the letter shakes and goes back.
- 03
Reach the target
Every puzzle has a par: the shortest path through common words. Match it for three stars, or find a cleverer word and beat it.
Tap any earlier rung to go back to it. Undo is always free, and nothing ever blocks the game.
03 · Ways to play
Three ways to climb.
-
Journey
Ladders that get longer.
Worlds of twenty levels, from three-letter words to five. Earn stars against par. Every twentieth level is a Fork: two ladders from one start word.
-
Daily
Same ladder for everyone, one go.
A new puzzle every day. Keep your streak going, and share a spoiler-free result that shows your moves, never the words.
-
Rush
Ninety seconds, endless.
Solve a ladder and win back fifteen seconds, with more if you beat par. See how far the clock takes you.
