Bridge

Turn one word into another, one letter at a time.

Bridge is a daily word ladder. You turn a start word into an end word by changing a single letter at a time, and every rung along the way has to be a real word. Par is the shortest possible path, so you can play it like golf.

How to play

  1. You start with two four-letter words: a start word at the top and an end word at the bottom.
  2. Add a word in between by changing exactly one letter of the word above it.
  3. Every word you make has to be a real word. Keep going until you reach the end word.
  4. Par is the shortest possible chain. Try to match it, golf-style.

Common questions

Is everyone’s puzzle the same?
Yes. The start and end words are the same for every player each day.
What is par?
Par is the fewest single-letter changes possible between the two words. It is your goal, not a limit.
