Complete today’s three desks

The Daily Edition contains one Word Ladder, one Word Deduction, and one Letter Loop for the current date. Finish all three to complete the edition and protect your streak. Each desk saves independently, so you can leave and return.

Climb a Word Ladder

Change one letter at a time until the starting word becomes the target word. Every intermediate step must be a valid word, and each new word can differ in only one position. LexiD includes four-, five-, and six-letter ladders.

The par number is a benchmark, not a hard limit. A solve at or below par earns the strongest efficiency result; longer valid routes can still finish a puzzle.

Deduce the hidden word

Enter a valid word and use the response to narrow the answer. Green means the letter is correct and in the right position, yellow means it belongs elsewhere, and gray means that copy of the letter is absent. Repeated letters are scored in two passes, so a clue never promises more copies than the answer contains.

Standard Deduction gives six attempts and positional clues. After three Standard solves, you can unlock Xtreme: nine attempts with only totals for exact, misplaced, and absent letters. Daily Deduction always uses Standard rules.

Chain every Letter Loop region

Build words by tapping letters from alternating colored regions. Consecutive letters cannot come from the same region, and each new word must begin with the last letter of the previous word. Cover every letter to solve the board.

LexiD names each region and highlights legal next choices. Undo removes the most recent accepted word without changing the puzzle itself.

Play Your Way

Daily Edition is the shared daily set. Play Your Way offers more puzzles in each mode, including independent four-, five-, and six-letter Ladder sessions. Leaving a puzzle does not require starting over; active sessions resume locally.

Hints are optional and are recorded in the final result. A reserved hint is charged only when the game can deliver and commit it.

Read and share a result

Results compare moves, hints, and active solving time against the same puzzle. Bronze, silver, and gold medals feed each mode’s mastery record. Share cards use compact puzzle and rules codes while keeping the answer itself out of the post.
