What is Weaver?
Weaver is a daily word ladder. You get a start word and a target word, and you change one letter per move until you reach the target. Every step along the way has to be a real word, and the game shows how your path compares with the shortest possible one.
The site, Weaver Games, also has two more daily puzzles. Weaver X is a word ladder with a twist: each move you can change a letter, add one or remove one. Subtext asks how many words you can make from a set of letters. You can play past puzzles, and signing in is optional, it just keeps your streaks on every device.
