FIVE LETTERS · SELECTED TRAILS

Word Ladder Advanced

12 selected challenges in a small, reviewed 199-word practice dictionary. Four-letter Daily stays on the homepage.

One letter at a time

Change one letter in its original position. Each step must be in the accepted list. Reach the target shown above; every accepted route counts. You cannot repeat a word within a trail.

Enter adds a step. Undo takes back a step. Hint reveals a position, then a replacement letter, then a complete next word. Hints start from your current position, exclude used words and do not change your score.

Shortest means shortest within this fixed 199-word list. It is not a complete English dictionary; some ordinary English words are not accepted. Open Accepted words to see the full list. Advanced describes the longer words, not a guarantee that every trail is harder than the four-letter game.

Progress for each of the 12 trails stays in this browser when storage is available. Switching trails preserves unfinished progress. Clear site data to remove it.

These words are an editorial selection, not a measured word-frequency ranking. Source: the same CC0 Words material as the original game. No outside puzzle bank is used.
