Word Ladder puzzle for November 5, 2026

Everyone receives the same four-letter ladder at 00:00 UTC. Change one letter each step and make a real word, without repeating a word. Reach the word at the top to help the little librarian claim its book.

Par is the shortest route using familiar words. A legal, less familiar word may get you there in fewer steps. Hints cost 300 points each; undo is free. Your ladder, elapsed time and hint count are checked on the server before a score is recorded.

Word Ladder is part of the official daily challenges. A server-verified daily solve counts towards today’s progress and your streak. Books are kept locally in this browser. Practice ladders never add books or change daily progress.
