## Description

"Word Ladders" is an educational word game designed to improve vocabulary through building ladders of associated words. Users can add more generic words above and more specific ones below a given word, fostering both individual learning and friendly competition. Play solo to track your progress, challenge friends in one-on-one matches, or join group games for multiplayer fun. Developed by researchers at the University of Bologna, this app also aims to collect linguistic data to understand the mental lexicon better.
