Rungwick

Description

Every morning Rungwick sets one ladder. You get a start word and a target word, and you climb between them by changing a single letter at a time. Every rung has to be a real word.

Why It Feels Different

You can build from the top, from the bottom, or from both ends at once, and the ladder is done the moment the two chains are one letter apart. There is no wrong place to begin, so a stuck puzzle is never a dead end: undo a rung and try the other side.

A Ladder for Everyone, Every Day

Everyone gets the same ladder on the same date, so you can compare notes. Mondays are short three-letter hops; Sundays are long five-letter climbs. Par is the shortest route through everyday words. Find a shorter bridge using a rarer word and you finish under par.

Keep a Streak, or Look Back

Track your streak and best run, see four weeks of results at a glance, and replay any earlier ladder from the archive. Miss a day after a good run and you can mend the streak once a week.

Practice Whenever You Like

Pick three, four or five letters and an easy, medium or hard ladder. Practice never touches your streak.
