Good words.
Small adventures.

Feetle is a little invitation to slow down, play with words, and see where one letter can take you.

A very short journey.

You begin with a four-letter word. Change one letter, make a new word, and keep going until you reach FEET. There can be lots of valid routes. The shortest is called par; a few detours are part of the fun.

Our daily puzzle gives everyone on this site the same starting word, with a new challenge at 08:00 UTC. Unlimited mode is for whenever one puzzle isn’t quite enough. There are no accounts, subscriptions or fees to play.

Our dictionary.

The game uses a modified four-letter subset of SCOWL (Spell Checker Oriented Word Lists), release 2020.12.07, from the English and American word lists through size 60. We exclude names, abbreviations, non-letter entries and a small set of unsuitable words. Starting words are selected separately, and every starting word has a verified path to FEET.

The collective word lists are copyright 2000–2018 Kevin Atkinson and the contributors named in the complete copyright and permission notices. Our filtered list is a modified version. The notices include the terms for the original components; they are distributed with the game.
