Word Ladder: learn through an example
Read the aim of Word Ladder, then make your first move. Reach the target through one-letter changes and valid words. Check the relevant rule before repeating a move. Keep the instructions close while learning this activity. Use the example below to understand a decision.
Follow five selected word routes. Every step must use a word from the included supporting list; the list does not contain every English word.
Bring this focus to a round
Take enough time to read a new position. If a game has a timer, learn its controls first rather than searching for them during the round. Make the next step deliberately.
What the game asks you to do
Reach the target through one-letter changes and valid words. An attractive position is not enough unless the goal is met. Review the board or playing area as it changes.
From the start of a round
- Enter a same-length word differing at one position.
- Use only the included vocabulary.
- Do not reuse a word.
- Undo or Show one route helps.
How your actions work
Type a word and press Enter or Submit word. Read a button’s label before selecting it. Look at the feedback after the action.
An example to follow
COLD → CORD → CARD → WARD → WARM. Use the example as a guide rather than a substitute for reading your board. Read the matching step again.
One detail worth checking
No insertion, deletion or letter rearrangement. Read the feedback to see why an action did not have the expected result. Read one step at a time and try it on the playing area. Match the instruction to the control you use.
