Weavaword

How to play

Object: Interweave words to create a mini crossword grid, aiming for the highest score from letter values.

• Fill the empty squares with your own 3, 4, 5, or 6 letter words.
• All words must cross at least one other word.
• Duplicate words are not allowed.
• A doubled consonant (e.g. the ZZ in FUZZY) only score as one letter unless both are interesected.
• Consonants in daily starter word incur usage limits. Remaining uses shown as red number on key.

Free Play: Tap to play as often as you want, any time. Today's words/points total resets each day - beat your best day, shown in Stats.

Validation messages

When the Score display shows a message instead of a number, that's the problem to fix first:

• Invalid word: not a real dictionary word, or the wrong length.
• Duplicate word: already used elsewhere on the grid.
• Exceeds letter usage: a letter placed more times than its usage limit allows.
• Floating word: valid and unique, but doesn't cross another word yet - this one doesn't block submitting, it just isn't scoring yet.

Info

• One square is permanently blocked and can't be filled.
• Starter word Scoring word Rule violation - see above
• The Daily puzzle stays the same all day.
• Use Reset to keep trying for your best score.
• Your score updates live as you type.
• Progress saves automatically - come back any time.

Keyboard

• Letter keys show their point value (bottom-right) and, for any letter that's currently limited, how many remain to be placed (top-right) - only that day's starter-word consonants are ever limited.
• ⌫ Backspace - clears the selected cell, or on a second press (when already empty) steps back one cell.
• Across / Down - toggles which way typing jumps to the next empty cell.
• Keyboard - mobile only: switches between this on-screen keyboard and your device's own.
• Reset - opens the Clear dialog: clear just the selected word (or across/down separately at an intersection), or the whole grid back to just the starter word.
• Save / Load - Daily only. One checkpoint per scoring mode, per day: Save snapshots your current grid, Load restores it. Resets at midnight - not saved history yet.
• Dictionary - looks up the selected cell's word (in the current typing direction), if it's valid and scoring - otherwise the starter word.
