Letter Lattice is a clever mashup that word nerds will absolutely adore. It takes the logic of a word ladder—where you change one word into another—and weaves it into a crossword-style grid. The result is a 'weaving' mechanic where every word you find helps solve the next, creating a satisfying sense of momentum.
The 'Super-Skull' puzzles are genuinely difficult and require a deep vocabulary, but the game is generous with its easier packs for beginners. I particularly liked the Arcade Mode, which adds a bit of 'speed-round' pressure to the otherwise relaxed experience. The clean, high-contrast aesthetic makes it easy to read on the go, making it a perfect 'subway game.'

How do DOG and CAT relate to each other? What about GUITAR and MELODY? I made this game as an appreciation for the intertwining nature of words in the English language.
Most word games have you searching for anagrams within a single word. In Letter Lattice, puzzles use anagrams as connectors to morph from one word to another, each word you find being essential for solving the rest of the puzzle.

~ A note from me ~
— I started developing Letter Lattice after playing these puzzles in a notebook on New York subway commutes. I enjoyed the paper puzzles so much, I spent over a year building the optimal digital interface for the puzzles to exist within.
Along the way, I discovered so much about the English language becoming entranced by the similarities between words I had once thought were very different. I began to appreciate even the simplest of words and how they relate to others. If you have read this far, I hope playing Letter Lattice will help you find this same magic that made me passionate to develop this game.
