Morph
Word · Mot · Palabra · Wort
Change one letter at a time to turn one word into another. COLD, CORD, CARD, WARD, WARM. Play in English, French, Spanish or German, or pick two languages and use words from both on the way. A new puzzle every day, free.
Not yet available.
One letter at a time.
Every word on the way must be a real word. Letters that already match the target turn gold, so you can see yourself getting closer. Par is the fewest steps possible: reach the target on par for a Perfect, one over for Great, two over for Good. Need more steps? Keep going. The ladder grows.
Lewis Carroll invented this puzzle on Christmas Day 1877 and called it "Doublets". His first one turned HEAD into TAIL.
Play across two languages.
Choose a language to start in and a language to finish in. Every step can be a word in either one, and each word on the ladder shows which language it counted as. A French puzzle might pass through English words on its way to the target, and back again.
Pick the same language twice for the classic game. Accents don't matter: É counts as E, just as in crosswords. Spanish keeps its Ñ.

Mac, iPhone, iPad and iPhone Duo.
One purchase covers every device signed in with the same Apple Account. On a wide screen, such as an iPad, a Mac window or an unfolded iPhone Duo, the ladder sits beside the keyboard and hints. Fold the Duo mid-puzzle and your ladder stays exactly where it was.
The app is in English, French, Spanish and German. Every word list and ten years of daily puzzles are built in, so Morph works without an internet connection.
No ads, no account, no tracking.
Your puzzles, results and streaks stay on your device. Morph only contacts Apple: the App Store when you buy or restore the Full Game, and Game Center for the daily leaderboards if you are signed in to it.
Simple, honest pricing.

Frequently asked questions
How do I play?
You get a start word and a target word. Change one letter at a time, and every word on the way must be a real word. Par is the fewest steps possible. Reach the target on par for a Perfect; take more steps if you need them and the ladder grows.
What does playing across two languages mean?
Choose the language you start in and the one you finish in. Every step can be a word in either language, and each word shows a small tag such as FR, EN or FR · EN for words that are in both. Choose the same language twice for the classic one-language game.
Do I have to speak both languages?
No. If you get stuck, Hint suggests the next word on a shortest route and shows which language it's from. Many players use the two-language mode to pick up new words.
Does everyone get the same daily puzzle?
Yes. Each pair of languages has its own daily puzzle, the same for everyone on that day. Ten years of puzzles are built into the app, so nothing needs downloading.
What do accents count as?
Accents are ignored, as in crosswords: É counts as E and Ü counts as U. German ß counts as SS. Spanish Ñ stays its own letter, and the keyboard shows an Ñ key when Spanish is one of your languages.
Is there a subscription?
No. The daily puzzle is free. The Full Game is a one-time purchase of $4.99 that unlocks Clever, Practice, Translations and past puzzles on all your devices.
