A bit over a year ago, I introduced Ladderet to this group - my novel variant of the standard Word Ladder puzzle. The puzzle is now on Twitter and Facebook. It’s entirely free. I publish one puzzle every weekday. I’ve clocked up ten weeks now.
Wordle was the stimulus for this venture. Ladderet also uses 5-letter words and it is meant to be solved in a similar amount of time.
On Twitter, I tweet the puzzle under the username @PuzzleSmith.
On Facebook, I have a page for the puzzle. Search for ‘LadderetPuzzle’ to find it.
Ladderet is different from a standard word ladder in three respects:
1. The words are 5 letters long.
2. There are just two intermediate rungs on the ladder.
3. On each step, EXACTLY 2 letters must be changed.
