Word Steps is a word game based on the classic word game invented by Lewis Carroll (author of "Alice in Wonderland") in 1877. The game challenges players to transform one word into another by changing just one letter at a time, with each step forming a valid word.
In this example, COLD is transformed to WARM in 4 steps.
Originally called "Doublets," Word Ladder was invented by mathematician and writer Lewis Carroll in 1877. Carroll created the game for friends and published it in the magazine Vanity Fair.
