## Description

New: Word Wheel bonus rounds, treasure-hunting Word Seas battles, themed Daily Word Chain, and 500 hand-crafted levels!

Word Step is a word-puzzle adventure that goes far beyond a simple word ladder. Transform one word into another a letter at a time — then spin a Word Wheel, sail into treasure sea-battles, and climb your own path to the target. Five distinct puzzle modes, 500 hand-crafted levels, and a hand-painted world.

A TWO-PHASE PUZZLE, EVERY LEVEL
Solve the word ladder, then a Word Wheel pops up — make as many words as you can from 7 letters to earn bonus coins. Two games in one, every single level.

FIVE WAYS TO PLAY
• Classic Steps — change one letter at a time to reach the target
• Rule Steps — twist puzzles with bridge words, locked letters, forbidden letters, and limited letter pools
• Power Steps — rearrange anagrams, grow and shrink words, and shift two letters at once
• Clue Steps — solve a definition to find the hidden bridge word
• Free Climb — no fixed path; find YOUR own route in the fewest steps, with letters that light up as you get closer

SAIL INTO WORD SEAS
Great puzzle play earns Cannon Shots for Word Seas — a quick treasure-hunting sea battle. Place your fleet, fire on enemy waters, uncover hidden treasure for free coins, and sink both ships for the jackpot. A word game with a strategy layer you won't find anywhere else.

DAILY WORD CHAIN
A fresh themed challenge every day. Chain words by their last letter against a 60-second clock, earn double points for on-theme words, and share your result.

500 HAND-CRAFTED LEVELS
• Difficulty climbs gently from easy warmups to expert brain-benders
• Modes are mixed as you progress so it never feels repetitive
• Earn up to 3 stars per level for clean, efficient solves

SMART HELPERS
• Undo — reverse a wrong move so you're never stuck (first one's free)
• Hint — reveal the next word toward the target
• Skip — bypass a puzzle that has you stumped

A HAND-PAINTED WORLD
Wooden tiles, parchment scrolls, leafy frames, and lively animations give Word Step a warm, crafted feel — no flat, generic grids here.

Whether you love Wordle, crosswords, anagrams, or word searches, Word Step keeps your vocabulary sharp and your mind entertained. No time pressure in the campaign — play at your own pace.
