Word Ladder
Word ladder puzzle, free to play online. Change one letter at a time to climb from one word to another.
Turn COLD into WARM one letter at a time, and every step has to be a real word: cold, cord, card, ward, warm. Each puzzle starts at the top word and climbs down to the target. Match the shortest ladder for three stars, ask for a hint when you are stuck, and undo any step. A hundred ladders grow from three steps to seven, plus a fresh daily ladder for everyone.
How to play

- Every step must be a real four letter word.
