wordstrains

Wordstrains are a type of word puzzle that involves finding a sequence of words, each of which is formed by changing one letter at a time from the previous word, until a target word is reached. The goal is to create a chain of words that connects the starting word to the target word. The length of the chain is typically limited to a certain number of words, and the words used must be valid according to a dictionary.

Wordstrains can be created using any set of words, but they are most commonly used with common English words. The difficulty of a wordstrain puzzle can vary depending on the length of the chain and the complexity of the words involved. Some wordstrains may require the use of uncommon or obscure words, while others may only use common and easily recognizable words.

Wordstrains can be a fun and challenging way to test one's vocabulary and word association skills. They can also be used as a form of entertainment or as a way to pass the time. Wordstrains can be created and solved manually, or there are also computer programs and online tools available that can generate and solve wordstrains automatically.
