How to play Word Ladder

The PT-BUS guide to Word Ladder starts with mistake-aware practice. Your task is to reach the target through one-letter changes and valid words. The controls and example below describe this exact implementation.

Five curated routes with a small supporting word list; not every dictionary word is included.

Mistake-aware practice

Read the common mistake below before starting. Watch for that situation during the round rather than relying on trial and error.

Your goal

Reach the target through one-letter changes and valid words.

Step by step

1. Enter a same-length word differing at one position.
2. Use only the included vocabulary.
3. Do not reuse a word.
4. Undo or Show one route helps.

Controls

Type a word and press Enter or Submit word.

A useful example

COLD → CORD → CARD → WARD → WARM.

Watch out for this

No insertion, deletion or letter rearrangement.
