A game of strategy and vocabulary
WordCord is based on the "Doublets" game made famous by Lewis Carroll in the late 1870s. It's sometimes called word ladder, word links, stepwords or even word golf.
The aim of the game is simple - change one word into another, changing just one letter at a time - but each change must make a new word!

A game might have many different solutions.
WordCord allows the player to try the games first set by Lewis Carroll in 1879 and published in Vanity Fair magazine. These are classic games like "Change WET to DRY".

WordCord is currently available for Apple devices (iPhone, iPod Touch and iPad) through the App Store.
A version of WordCord for Android is under development.
