Woodle: Word Ladder Game

Woodle is a cozy daily word ladder puzzle. Start with a word and change one letter at a time - every step has to be a real word - until you reach your forest-themed target. The fewer moves, the better. Can you find the shortest path? Easy to learn and hard to put down: no timers, no pressure, just you and the letters. DAILY PUZZLE Take on a fresh word ladder every day, with rotating forest-themed targets. The Standard Daily puzzle is free, and Premium includes a separate Hard Daily challenge. Reopen today's completed puzzle to view your ladder and share your result. STANDARD MODE Free play includes the daily Standard puzzle plus one random Standard puzzle each day. Explore four-letter forest-themed target words. Premium unlocks unlimited random Standard play. HARD MODE (PREMIUM) Step up to five-letter ladders with more forest-themed target words. Play the Hard Daily or keep exploring in Unlimited. Once per round, use a Shortcut to change two letters at once. Spend it wisely! CUSTOM PUZZLES Premium players can choose their own four- or five-letter target word, and Woodle finds a solvable starting word. Share your completed puzzle with a friend. Anyone can play a shared Custom puzzle for free. BACKTRACK AND TRY AGAIN Take a wrong turn? Spend a Backtrack to undo your last accepted word. Everyone starts with one Backtrack, and solving a puzzle in the shortest path or fewer moves earns another, up to a balance of five. OPTIONAL VIDEO HINTS Watch a rewarded video to earn one hint. Save as many hints as you like on this device and use them in any mode. Confirm to automatically play the next word on a shortest single-letter route from your last accepted word. Hints never spend a Shortcut. Scores and Backtrack rewards work normally; undoing a hinted move does not refund the hint. OFFLINE PUZZLES No accounts. Puzzles and saved hints work offline, with progress and stats stored locally. Optional ads need an internet connection and process advertising data as described in the Privacy Policy. The app does not ask for tracking permission. Ad availability can vary. WOODLE PREMIUM Woodle Premium is a one-time purchase - no subscription or recurring billing. Unlock unlimited random Standard play, Hard Daily and Unlimited, Custom puzzle creation and sharing, and exclusive themes. After giving up, Premium also lets you reveal a remaining solution one move at a time. Change one letter. Find the path. Beat your best.
