Word Weft (Decatur Games)

Word Weft is one of three daily word puzzles from Decatur Games, next to Step Words and Twice Thrice. Each day has its own numbered puzzle built from 10 letters, shown above every row of the board.

The board has four rows of empty boxes, one for each pattern: a 3-letter word with a 7-letter word, a 4-letter word with a 6-letter word, two 5-letter words, and two 3-letter words with a 4-letter word. In every row you have to use all 10 letters exactly once, with nothing left over. The same letters feed all four rows, so the work is finding four different ways to cut one pool of letters into words.

Each box takes a single letter. As you type, the board marks letters that are not in the set or that you have used too many times, and shows whether each finished word is valid. There is usually more than one answer for a row; any valid set counts. Fill all four rows correctly and the puzzle is solved.

No account is needed, though the site offers an optional sign-in. A calendar under Play Historical Puzzle lets you go back to earlier days.
