How To Make Wood In Little Alchemy 1 & 2

The recipes needed to create Wood in both versions of Little Alchemy, plus the other elements it unlocks 

Every lumberjack’s favorite prey is the mass of lignin forming the structure of trees – otherwise known as wood. Think of the elements related to lumberjacks and their trade, and you’ll find it in the end in the Little Alchemy games. But if you’re in a rush, here’s how to make it: 

Ingredients needed to make Wood 

Little Alchemy 1 has only 1 way to make Wood, in Little Alchemy 2 there are 12. The same combinations of elements are used for Tree and Forest, to chop them down and create piles of useful Wood. This includes a use for the elusive Paul Bunyan element from the Myths and Monsters DLC pack.

The quickest way to get to Wood  

Wood may take a while to uncover, as it relies on lots of other elements to be found first. It takes 16 steps in Little Alchemy 1 and is slightly quicker in Little Alchemy 2 if you have the Time element. 

If you don’t have Time it will take 31 steps in the second game. That’s a lot! Wood is hugely useful for making other elements though, so well worth taking the time to find.
