Lord Word Worm is a word game concept created and owned by Australian company Inventerprising. The game is currently available as paper puzzles and as a Facebook application. Both forms share similar concepts, but vary in individual rules. The concept was inspired by Word Ladder (invented by Lewis Carroll in 1877) whereby a single letter in a word is altered to create a new word, and this process is repeated to create a chain of words.

| - Lord Word Worm is a word game concept created and owned by Australian company Inventerprising. The game is currently available as paper puzzles and as a Facebook application. Both forms share similar concepts, but vary in individual rules. The concept was inspired by Word Ladder (invented by Lewis Carroll in 1877) whereby a single letter in a word is altered to create a new word, and this process is repeated to create a chain of words. Lord Word Worm is presented as a series of hexagons, with each hex containing a four-letter word. As the player adds more words, the sequence increases in size, thus creating a word worm. Presumably the name "Lord Word Worm" was chosen because the three words form a four-letter Word Ladder. In both the online and paper form of the game, the direction of the sequence of words is paramount. In the online game, players attempt to achieve the highest score possible. In the paper puzzle, players attempt to solve the puzzle to find the unique solution.
