Letter Ladder!

Transform one word into another by modifying one letter at a time.

You can add one letter, delete one letter, or change one letter into another.

Here is an example sequence of changes:

IT -> AT -> CAT -> HAT -> THAT -> THAW

Click Word Ladder for my curated selection of levels.

Click Random Ladder to have the game randomly create levels.

Note: It may lag sometimes, especially on Insane difficulty.

I'm working on a way to automatically generate ladders using only common words.

Here is a graph I made of all 51,718 words.

Each dot is a word color coded based on distance to the word "A".

Here is a grayscale graph where the connections are drawn.
