Lily Hopper: Word Ladder

Daily word race & path puzzles

Free · In‑App Purchases

New: Pond Sweep! Spell a path across 200 lily pads in eight ponds. And Halloween is on the pond until Oct 31: bats, a moon, and a frog in a witch's hat. Lily Hopper is a daily word-ladder race with a frog-sized twist. Change one letter at a time—every hop must land on a real four-letter word—and guide your little hopper from one bank of the pond to the other. Every pond sketches two possible ways across: risk the Shortcut or follow the Steady route. Follow either trail of lily pads, wander off it, or discover a crossing of your own—the pads are suggestions, not fences. The clock is already ticking, so choose bravely. Everyone gets the same daily pond and one honest attempt to cross it. Compare times, build a streak, and share the shape of your run without giving away a single word. Still have some bounce left? Practice ponds keep coming. When your brain gets boggy, ask the dragonfly for a hint: first a position, then a letter, then the whole next word. The first nudge is free; deeper hints use a rewarded video. Hop into a dead end and the pond will let you know, so you can hop back and try another way. Solved ponds earn XP. At special milestones, one of seventeen surprises arrives in My Pond—cattails, fireflies, a duck, a turtle, a lantern, and other tiny neighbors. Keep hopping and the water slowly begins to feel like home. NEW: POND SWEEP Rather take your time? Pond Sweep is a second word game on the same pond. Hop from pad to pad—up, down, left or right—to spell a word, and every pad behind the frog sinks, all but the last. Your next word starts where you landed. Sink every pad, then hop to the dock. Two hundred lily pads wait in eight ponds, from sunny Lily Shallows to Thunderhead Deep. Finish in fewer words for three stars, sweep a whole pond for bonus XP, and if you get stuck, the dragonfly will show you a word. Along the way, you can: • Track your streak, best time, solve rate, and route results • Compare daily times, longest streak, and total XP through Game Center • Discover twelve achievements • Catch up on yesterday’s missed pond while it is still open • Set a gentle daily reminder • Keep progress in sync with iCloud • Play offline: daily ponds, practice and Pond Sweep • Enjoy support for VoiceOver and Dynamic Type • Play without making a Lily Hopper account Lily Hopper is free to play and supported by ads. If you'd rather not see them, two optional one-time purchases switch them off: Remove Ads, or Founder, which also gives your frog a golden crown and your pond a Founder's lantern. No subscriptions. One word becomes another. The frog gets across. And your quiet little pond grows alongside you.

New: Pond Sweep, a second word game on the pond. Hop from pad to pad to spell a word, and every pad behind the frog sinks. Sink them all, then hop to the dock. 200 lily pads wait in eight ponds, from sunny Lily Shallows to Thunderhead Deep, with four short lessons to start. Until Oct 31 the pads are autumn leaves. Prefer no ads? Remove Ads switches them off for good. Founder does the same and adds a golden crown for your frog and a Founder's lantern for your pond. Also new: a More games page, a frog that faces the way it hops, and a fix for a rare crash on very fast taps.
