🤝 Play Together

How to play: turn the start word into the target word one letter at a time — every word in between must also be a real word, and the length never changes. Fewer steps is better. Design your own ladder below and share the link with a friend; they get one hint for the whole challenge, and it costs a full heart.

🔑 Games Editor's Sandbox

Preview generated schedules for the next month. You can see the ideal path computed by the engine to ensure no obscure Scrabble words (like "XEBEC") slip through.

📌 Future Feature Implementation Guide:
Theme & Animations (CSS) (#3): Best integrated at the global framework/site-level stylesheets using CSS Transitions on the .letter-box classes. Use a confetti library (like canvas-confetti) triggered inside lockOpenRowAndAdvance when word === currentPuzzle.end.
Editor Difficulty Locking & Sliders (#4): [IMPLEMENTED] Adjust the limit constraint slider below to automatically throttle and force-regenerate layout difficulty limits dynamically.
No Capping Limit

If a generated day path is too long/difficult, the generator will dynamically prune candidates until the path length falls strictly within this selected constraint limit.
