This clears the board and erases your progress on today’s puzzle — you’ll start over from the givens. It can’t be undone.

How to play the daily word ladder

  • Turn the start word into the target word, one letter at a time.
  • Every rung must be a real word — type it and press Enter.
  • Wrong tries cost nothing. Guess freely; the clock is the only score.
  • A locked rung can still be a wrong road — backspace straight back into it.
  • Exactly one shortest chain exists, and you are on its trail.
  • Everyone climbs the same ladder; a new one at midnight UTC.
