Answers to Questions
How to create a word ladder?
The principle of the words ladder is to list a sequence of words starting from an initial word and arriving at a final word, while creating a chain of words steps each of which differs from the previous one only by a single letter. The number of letters of the 2 words must be identical.
Example:
| DCODE |
| DECOY |
| CYDER |
| CREPY |
| CRYPT |
According to the variants, the shuffling of letters is authorized or not.
To create a word scale automatically, dCode generates lists from the 2 words. The result is not guaranteed.
To create a word scale semi-automatically, use the tool for changing letters in a word.
How to pass through a 3rd word?
To go from WORD1 to WORD2 through WORD3, then create a ladder between WORD1 and WORD3 then another between WORD3 and WORD2 and connect the 2.
What is doublets?
Doublets is the name given to this scale principle of words in a newspaper by Lewis Carroll, this is one of the first written records of this game. Other names like word-links or laddergram are also used.
