Word Ladder Workshop

Use without printing: Keep the puzzle and clues open on screen and record candidate answers, eliminations and your final answer in a notes app or spreadsheet. Use a separate entry for each puzzle number. Check the hints only when needed and compare your reasoning with the included solutions. No built-in form fields or automatic scoring are supplied.

Transform one ordinary word into another in 40 original four- and five-letter word ladders. Each puzzle gives fixed endpoints, an exact change count and roomy writing cells. Includes a precise 233-word allowed lexicon, two worked starters, first-step and midpoint hints, all 40 complete routes and eight make-a-ladder challenges with example answers. One 28-page, static US Letter PDF; print at 100%. Other valid routes within the lexicon are welcome.

Print on U.S. Letter at Actual Size / 100%. Static PDF, not a fillable form. No physical item, editable source files or supplies are included.
