What is Word Web?
Word Web is a daily puzzle that challenges you to connect a set of five-letter words by changing one letter at a time.
How to play Word Web
You start with three five-letter words. Your goal is to add new five-letter words to create a chain that links all the starting words together. Each new word must differ from an existing word by exactly one letter. The puzzle is solved when the entire set of words forms a single connected web. You aim to add as few words as possible.
Tips & strategy
- Look for words that share four letters with a word already in your web.
- Try to bridge gaps between the starting words efficiently.
