FAQ

What time does Weaver reset?+−
At 05:00 UTC every day: 1 a.m. Eastern Time in summer and midnight in winter. This page updates a few minutes later.
How do the hints work?+−
Open them in order. The first gives the number of steps, the next says which letter to change first, then the first word, then a word from the middle of the ladder. The answer is last.
Is this the official Weaver site?+−
No. This is an unofficial fan page. The puzzles and their official ladders come from Weaver itself; the hints are worked out from them.
