About this game

Start with one word. Change a single letter — add, remove, or swap — to make a new valid word. Do it again. And again. How long can you keep the chain going before time runs out?

WORDLADDER is a fast-paced word survival game that rewards vocabulary, quick thinking, and pattern recognition. Every session starts fresh with a new word. Every word you chain earns your score another step higher.

HOW TO PLAY
→ You start with a random word
→ Type any valid English word that differs by exactly one letter (substitution, insertion, or deletion)
→ A countdown timer keeps the pressure on — chain a word to earn bonus time
→ Your score = total words chained. Higher is better.

FEATURES
★ Endless survival mode — no fixed goal, just keep going
★ Global leaderboard — compete with players worldwide, daily
★ Daily lives system — 3 games per day, watch a short ad for more
