Word Pyramid

Start from a three letter word and add one letter at a time, rearranging as you go, to climb a pyramid of longer words. Daily and practice puzzles.

How to play

You start with a base word of three letters. Each row of the pyramid adds exactly one new letter to the row before it.
Type a word that uses every letter of the previous row plus the new letter, in any order. The new letter is shown for each row.
Tap Check to lock the row in. A word of the wrong length, or one that misses a letter, is rejected and counted as a mistake.
Reach the top row to solve the pyramid. Hints reveal the first letter of the answer but are counted in your result.

Think about endings first. Adding S, D, R or E to the letters often gives a plural or a past tense.
Any valid word is accepted, so try rearranging the tiles instead of keeping the old order.
If a row is stuck, try the longest word you can see in the letters first and work down.
Use a hint only when you are truly stuck. A pyramid with no mistakes and no hints earns the best rating.

Does my word have to match the one the game chose?: No. Any real word built from exactly those letters is accepted, so there are often several routes up.
Is every pyramid solvable?: Yes. Each puzzle is built by climbing a real chain of words before it is offered to you.
How tall can a pyramid be?: Practice offers three, four or five rows above the base word. The daily has four.
