How Rungs works

Turn the top word into the bottom one, changing a single letter at a time.

Read the full Rungs rules and tips

  1. 1. Read the two ends

    The top rung and the bottom rung are given to you. The three between them are yours to fill, and every rung is a four-letter word.

  2. 2. Change one letter

    Each rung must differ from the one above it by exactly one letter, in any position. COLD, CORD, CARD, WARD, WARM is a finished ladder.

  3. 3. Type into a rung

    Tap a rung to choose it, then use the keyboard underneath. The backspace takes off the last letter you typed, on this rung or the one above.

Questions

About Rungs.

What is the goal of Rungs?

Turn the top word into the bottom one, changing a single letter at a time.

Is Rungs free?

Yes. Rungs is one of 48 games in PlayBurst, a single free app. It is free, nothing is locked in front of it, and no purchase in the app unlocks a game: the shop sells coins and removing the ads, and that is all it sells.

Can I play Rungs without a connection?

Yes. Rungs runs on your device rather than on a server, so it keeps working on a plane or in the back of a car. The first launch of PlayBurst reaches out once to set up your guest account, and opens anyway if it cannot.

Where can I get Rungs?

Download PlayBurst from the Amazon Appstore for Fire tablets using the link on this page. Google Play and the App Store are coming later.
