Word Ladder Worksheets

What are Word Ladders?

A word ladder is an impressive word game that starts by selecting two words. Two words are then connected with a series of other words in a step-by-step manner. For instance, let us consider two words, SAGE, and FOOL. In a word puzzle, you must transform one word into the other one sequentially by changing a single letter at a time. Now, the variation through which FOOL can become Sage is as follows.
1. Fool
2. Pool
3. Poll
4. Pole
5. Pale
6. Sale
7. Sage
