Word Ladder Race

Get from the start word to the target, one real synonym hop at a time.

How to play

  1. 1You're given a start word and a target word. Each hop must be a true synonym of the word you're on: START → a synonym → another synonym → … → TARGET.
  2. 2Type a synonym and press Hop, or just tap one of the suggested words. A word that isn't a synonym (or that you've already used) bounces back.
  3. 3Reach the target in as few hops as you can. “Par” is the fewest hops possible.

Score starts at 1000 and drops 3 points per second and 100 per hint. “Hint” fills in the next word on the shortest path; “Show answer” reveals the whole path and ends the round with no score.
