Weave — Free Daily Word Swap Puzzle
Swap letters until all six interlocking words are correct.
Weave is a free daily word puzzle where all the letters are already on the board — just in the wrong places. Swap tiles until three across words and three down words are all correct, before your swaps run out. Free, no signup, and a new grid every day at 00:00 UTC with unlimited practice grids alongside it.
Tap two tiles to swap them. Green is in place, amber belongs elsewhere in that word.
How to play
Rules
The grid holds three across words and three down words, all scrambled.
Tap one tile, then another, to swap them. Green tiles are already in the right place; amber tiles belong somewhere else in that word.
You have a limited number of swaps, so plan before you tap. A new grid appears daily at 00:00 UTC.
How to play Weave
- 1The grid contains three across words and three down words, scrambled.
- 2Tap one tile then another to swap their letters.
- 3Green tiles are already correct; amber tiles belong elsewhere in that word; plain tiles are not part of that word.
- 4You have a limited number of swaps, so plan a chain before you start moving tiles.
- 5Solve all six words within your swap budget to finish the day's grid.
Weave strategy
Fix the intersections first
Corner tiles belong to two words at once, so getting one right resolves constraints in both directions. Solving a middle tile only helps one word.
Chain swaps instead of pairing them
If A belongs where B is and B belongs where C is, a naive pair of swaps wastes a move. Find the cycle and execute it in order — this is where most of your swap budget is saved.
Trust amber over instinct
An amber tile tells you the letter is in that word somewhere. Placing it in the only remaining plausible slot for that word is almost always safer than moving a letter you merely think looks right.
Weave — frequently asked questions
What is Weave?
Weave is a free daily word grid where the letters are already placed but scrambled. You swap tiles until six interlocking words are correct.
How do you play Weave?
Tap two tiles to swap them. Tile colours show whether a letter is correctly placed, elsewhere in its word, or not part of it. Solve all six words before your swaps run out.
How many swaps do you get?
Enough to finish comfortably if you use the colour feedback, but not enough to brute force the grid — leftover swaps improve your score.
Is Weave free?
Yes, the daily grid and practice mode are free with no signup.
How often does Weave change?
One new grid every day at 00:00 UTC, identical for every player.
Is Weave like Waffle?
It shares the swap-to-solve word grid idea, and adds a practice mode, a timer and a 30-day archive.
