Read full descriptionHide full description
Word Evolver is a daily word guessing game. Your task is to find a secret word by evolving words in the right direction. Words can be evolved into other English words by replacing, adding or removing exactly one single letter. "WORD" evolves into "WORK" by replacing "D" with "K". "WORD" evolves into "WORLD" by adding the letter "L" "WORK" evolves into "WOK" by removing the letter "R" For example, you can get from WOKE to RING in just 5 steps: WOKE -> WOK -> WON -> WIN -> WING -> RING. Whenever you enter your guess, Word Evolver will show you the minimum number of steps it will take to reach the secret word. By careful inspection of your previous guesses you will be able to find the secret word. If this gets too easy for you, go expert and beat the time limit.
