Playlin'sGuide

Wordishi is a daily word ladder puzzle where your mission is to fill in a chain of valid words, each exactly one letter different from the next, using 4 lives or fewer.

You start with a partially filled grid. Some letters are locked in place. Your job is to complete each row with a real word, making sure each row changes by exactly one letter from the row above it. Type your guess and submit. A wrong answer costs you a life.

  • Each row must be a valid English word.
  • Each row differs from the previous by exactly one letter (added, removed, or changed).
  • Example: LIE β†’ IDLE (added two letters and changed position).
  • No repeating words allowed across the puzzle.
  • You have 4 lives total. Each wrong guess costs one.
  • A new puzzle drops every day.

Why we like it:

  • βœ…It's a clever twist on word ladders with just enough constraint to make you think.
  • βœ…The limited lives add real tension without making it frustrating.
  • βœ…Short enough to solve in minutes, but tricky enough to feel earned.

Hint: Start by scanning for the easiest transformations first. If you see a three letter word that could become four, or a spot where swapping one vowel makes sense, lock that in early. Build confidence before tackling the trickier rows.
