About Letter Climb

Letter Climb is a word-ladder puzzle with a new challenge every day — the same one for everyone. Turn the start word into the goal word by changing one letter at a time, and every step has to be a real word: COLD, CORD, CARD, WARD, WARM. Each puzzle has a par (the fewest steps possible); match it for a perfect ladder and keep your daily streak going. Stuck? A hint plays the next step for you. When today's ladder is done, share your result without spoilers or keep going in practice mode.

How to play

Type a four-letter word that differs from the last word by exactly one letter, then press Enter. Reach the goal word in as few steps as you can — fewer steps means a higher score. Undo takes a step back for free; each hint costs 200 points. A new puzzle arrives every day at midnight UTC.

Tips for Letter Climb

  • Work backwards: think of words one letter away from the goal word, then find a path toward them.
  • Change the letter that is "most wrong" first — often a vowel opens up more words.
  • Undo is free, so try a step and go back if it leads nowhere.
  • Each hint costs 200 points. Try a couple of different paths before you use one.
  • Matching par (the fewest steps possible) gives a perfect ladder and keeps your streak going.
