Climb Word

COLD → CORD → CARD → WARD → WARM

Climbword is a word ladder. Change one letter at a time. Every step has to be a real word. Reach the target in as few moves as you can.

That is the whole game. It takes ten seconds to learn and rewards you for years.

A NEW PUZZLE EVERY DAY
One daily puzzle, the same for everyone, renewing at midnight UTC. Build a streak. Compare your route with friends using a spoiler-free result that never gives the words away.

PLAY AS MUCH AS YOU LIKE
Unlimited practice puzzles whenever you want them, across three to six letters, tuned to how you are actually playing.

EVERY PUZZLE IS PROVABLY FAIR
This is the part most word games cannot claim. Before a puzzle reaches you, it is checked against the full dictionary: a route exists, and that route is the shortest one possible using ordinary words. You are never asked to know an obscure word to find the best path. We verified this across 6,962,094 possible puzzles — every one solvable, none requiring a word you would not recognise.

41,400 words, curated to be family-safe. No filler, no nonsense entries, nothing you would not want a child to spell.

NOTHING BETWEEN YOU AND THE PUZZLE
No ads. No pop-ups. No accounts. No subscriptions. No notifications begging you to come back.

Nothing is collected about you, because there is nowhere to send it — the whole dictionary ships inside the app and it never makes a single network request. Your streak and stats live on your device and nowhere else.

BUILT WITH CARE
Light and dark themes that follow your phone. Haptics you can turn off. Reduced motion if you want it. A board designed to be read at a glance, on a warm paper canvas rather than a glaring white one.

Free. Complete. No catch.
