THE DAILY WORD LADDER

A little change.
A whole new word.

One letter at a time. Every step a real word.

Change one letter from the word above.

Small steps, surprising connections.

Wordshift is a daily word ladder puzzle. Turn the starting word into the goal word by replacing exactly one letter each time. Keep the letters in their positions and use a valid four-letter word at every step.

For example: COLD → CORD → CARD → WARD → WARM. There's more than one way to get there. Aim for the shortest route, or take your time finding your own.

A new pair arrives at midnight UTC. Your current ladder stays saved on this device. The word list uses common English words; proper names and abbreviations aren't accepted.
