What's the same
Both hide words as snaking orthogonal paths through adjacent letters. The satisfying part is the same: the letters route around each other until the board reads as a set of connected words.
How Weave differs
Weave makes the grid an exact cover — every letter belongs to exactly one word and walls split the board into pockets — which turns the hunt into a deduction rather than a search. It adds a daily archive and practice sizes, all in the browser with no login.
Verdict
For word-path fans, Weave tightens the rules into a solve you can reason about, with an archive to replay.
Free and the Arcade Pass
The daily board and ordinary practice are free. The optional Arcade Pass is a one-time $4.99 purchase for extra hints, a 60-day archive, and expert practice.
