dCode has a tool for creating a word ladder, a word game transforming one word to another by changing only one letter at each step:
S | T | A | R | T |
- | - | - | - | - |
- | - | - | - | - |
T | O | E | N | D |
dCode has many ciphers that replace letters with others (a cryptographic method called substitution cipher), the best known is the Caesar code.
The best way to replace a letter from a word to make another word is to use dCode that will try all possibilities (only one letter or more than one letter changing)
If the position of other letters is kept unchanged (search for paronym):
Example: From the word LETTER, by switching the first letter with a B, make the word BETTER.
If letters can be scrambled, then:
Example: From the word LETTER, by changing one letter without keeping the position of the letters, make the existing words TESTER (+S -L) or STREET (+S -L).
If no letter is changed, see anagrams.
The change may possibly consist of removing letters in a word (without adding any) or adding letters in a word (without deleting any)
To keep the letters but only reorder them, use the anagram generator.
A paronym is a word that looks like another word, both visually and phonetically. To search for a paronym, search for a word by keeping letter order and changing a few letters (1 or 2).
