This Month’s Winner Is…
Lacemaker
DOB: 19/01/1957
[Claimed]
Every day you will be given a starting word and a target word, and your challenge is to reach the target by changing one letter at a time. Each intermediate word must be a valid word, and you have two attempts to complete the ladder. Some ladders will be easy to climb, while others may really test your word skills. A brand new word puzzle awaits you daily.
All you need to do is transform the start word into the end word, one letter at a time. Any ladder that starts with the given word, ends with the target word, and uses only valid words at each step will be accepted, even if it’s different from the answer given. If you reach the target word correctly, you will earn 2 entries into the prize draw. Even if your attempts do not reach the target, you will still receive 1 entry just for taking part. At the end of the month, all entries will be pooled together, and one lucky winner will be drawn at random.
The competition started on 1st March 2026 and runs until the end of the month. The final question will be posted on 31st March 2026, with the winner announced here on 1st April 2026. The winner will then have 24 hours to claim their £10 cash prize. If the prize is not claimed by 11am on 2nd April 2026, it will be forfeited, and no late claims will be accepted.

Thanks for pointing out my spelling mistake and saying it was wrong anyway. I’m very thick but that’s ok as you told all.Me stroppy not. Chill it’s going to be a good day. No more give aways so smile. Life is great. I’m gonna study so I can be a police woman of 2 years and a doctor of 25 years.
Easy it’s a game. Very rotten boyfriend went behind my back pretending to be me it’s not on . So I got rid after 5 years but never thought it would get people worked up like that. Love and peace people. Life is beautiful don’t stress please only done twice. It’s not worth it. Didn’t like what he done but didn’t care for reply . Chill. All’s good. X
I don’t like being told what to do . It’s a game. And telling me it’s wrong, in that case what’s the problem Alison. Leave me alone or I’ll leave the sight for good so you can have it all to yourself. I’m bedridden I have a brain that’s foggy all the time I wake up all hours I so it to the best of my ability. I don’t need this nonsense from you. Don’t like it don’t look.
It’s spelt “site”, not “sight”.
And your answer was wrong if it was the 28th.
As one severely disabled person to another, it is not an excuse to get stroppy.
It’s a game, yes, but write your answers somewhere else because you put the answers before the game is over for the day. Stop doing that. You don’t like being told what to do. That’s sad because at some point in our lives we will be told what to do. About leaving the site, sorry but that is not really much of a threat as nobody here gains anything if you are here or not.
I am also disabled and live with chronic pain 24/7 and the brain fog with being on strong pain meds, but I don’t do what you have been doing, and I don’t get stroppy as you have been. If you want to leave this site, then do so; you will not be missed. This site and its games are meant to be fun, but entering the answers on the forum before that day’s game ends is not right. Grow up. Being disabled does not give you the right to be nasty.
Sorry to hear that Tracy, I know how you feel, it really stinks! 😢
Gulay, I understand that you feel the world is unfair and that you want to lash out, I feel the same way when my pain is relentless and I’m angry at my body for letting me down, but you are not new to this game, you must know that we don’t like it when people post the answers before the official answers have been posted. New games start today, so if you need a tally, start your own post that you can reply each day with 1st, 2nd, 3rd ect. After a week it will slip to the bottom and… Read more »
I’ve just entered a word that I didn’t know was even a word!
The OED says it is…..
Good Luck everyone for the draws!!!
See you all tomorrow for the new competitions
Witch Watch is also the name of an anime that I rather like.
Brain / Drain
I’m not sure which day this was for, was it the 28th? If so, it wasn’t right anyway.
Please don’t post answers here, you need to submit them under the picture. We only discuss answers *after* the game for that day has finished.
Alison, he/she did the same thing before saying it’s to remind him/herself that he/she did the game that day.
Please stop sharing the answers you have used before the game has finished here. You are spoiling it for people.
Looks like you’ve had a brain drain with those answers!
I nearly forgot to do the comps, so late last night I started on the word bridge but was trying to delete a word I had put but pressed enter instead of delete, I then refreshed the page to try again in the hope that because it was not completed, it would be ignored and I could submit a proper one.
26 flame/blame my reminder as all done
You gave the answer away before the game was over. It resets at 11am
Try writing the answer on a post-it and sticking it to your forehead. 🤣🤣
Why are the words so dark and difficult to read?
turn your brightness up 🙂
I normally have my brightness down so low, it’s practically off, I’ve just turned it to zero and I can still see these fine, even the thumbnails. You might need your eyes checked.
It could be your computer settings, as I am not having any problems seeing the words. Try doing what DivitLad suggested and turn the brightness up on your computer screen.
The lettering’s black on mostly fairly bright backgrounds so I don’t see what’s so difficult about seeing them.
Exactly what I put for yesterday’s. Yay.
I’m not sure there was any other options, I tried and couldn’t come up with other ones
me too
you still have a picture of word core that ws last months comp
Where do you mean Jan? On the competitions page it has a picture of a ladder with smiley alphabet characters climbing up it and says Word Ladder so I’m not sure where you’re talking about 🤔 the Word Core picture/link for that competition is still on that page but further down along with all the other old competitions going back centuries (or something like that, I haven’t actually checked 😉)
All of the old games are on the competition page, if you open one, it will appear back at the top (on mine it does). If you want current games to stay at the top, only click on those.
Ooh- I actually put the same words as the answer given for the 16th- Mark and Mask. Took me ages to think of something though.
I was surprised to see Mars on the ladder, I avoided using it as an answer on a previous day because it’s a proper noun, I think I watch too much Countdown and am just making up my own rules. 🤣🤣
I’m glad I wasn’t the only one 😉 I love word games and play a lot of them, and I’m just completely conditioned against using proper nouns – at least it was one of the ones given because I’ve been avoiding them in my own answers the whole game so far!
I’m glad it’s not just me too 😊
Different meaning of mars (spoils) can be used 🙂
Wondered if today I could have had mars, mass, mars, mass. Went with something else, but think that would still have been within the rules.
Lol I like that – but I think maybe you should have waited until tomorrow to post rather than when it’s still active, sorry to be the one to say it… 🫤
I also thought of that answer, which I am sure would have been strictly correct, but seemed a bit of a cop-out, so I went for Mats and Maps.
Oops! Yes, you’re right!
Put Tray and Trap yesterday after racking my brain for hours lol, even the answer above crossed my mind but I couldn’t put it together lol
They’re exactly what I put but at least we still get two points.
Me too
I put tray, trap too, but trio was quite clever, I went though the alphabet and I must have instinctively skipped the vowels, when do words ever end in a vowel? Well.. yesterday, apparently. 😖
the thing is we dont always need so many changes , it often goes after just one, like todays, tram trim trip, or tram trap trip, so why do we have to find another one in the middle!!
You should wait until the answers have been posted before discussing them, which is normally around 11am (GMT) the following day.
Yes, it can be done in 3, but that is not the challenge, you need to do it in 4 steps.
TODAY 12th GOT IT. HARDEST ONE YET
not a solver can come up with 4 words for today, stumped 🙂
It’s obvious. Just think about it…. 😊
You’ll probably kick yourself when you see it
I got this one, but out of curiosity I asked AI and it went around in circles, I ended up giving AI a clue. 🤣
Well the drinks are on you Stuart, there are a lot of us here, I hope you can carry them all. 😉
Struggled with the one for the 11th. I do hope my words are OK.
