Word Ladder: what to know before playing
Open Word Ladder, check the instructions and begin a round. Reach the target through one-letter changes and valid words. Look at what changes after your first action. Keep the instructions close while learning this activity. Choose a clear next step rather than rushing through the instructions.
Follow five selected word routes. Every step must use a word from the included supporting list; the list does not contain every English word.
Practice beyond the first move
Choose one rule to keep in mind for this round. Apply it consistently rather than guessing what another version might allow. Make the next step deliberately.
