About this game

Word Evolver is a daily word guessing game. Your task is to find a secret word by evolving words in the right direction.

A word can be evolved into another word by exchanging, inserting or removing a single letter.

"WORD" evolves into "WORK" by exchanging "D" with "K".
"WORD" evolves into "WORLD" by inserting the letter "L"
"WORK" evolves into "WOK" by removing the letter "R"

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 tell you the number of steps it takes to reach the secret word. Small numbers are good, large numbers not so. By careful inspection of these hints you will be able to find the secret word.

If this gets too easy for you, go expert and beat the time limit.

Great game, exactly what it says on the tin. No ads or micro transactions, good level of difficulty. Main feedback: - a heading above each column to show how many steps away it is would be nice QOL, especially early when they aren't all connected. Very minor feedback: - the dictionary has some odd words in it, and misses some unusual words too. Not a big issue, almost never comes up. - I feel a bit clumsier on the inbuilt keyboard than on my normal Android gboard. But I get why, no problem.

The concept is very interesting, but the experience is ruined by the poor vocabulary. Too many words are "not in the dictionary", like CHOICE, DORSAL, COBALT, and it's more frustrating than anything else. A game based on words must have a rich dictionary. It's obvious you focused on the algorithm first, it's disappointing.

Hi There. Words that cannot be possibly evolved into the secret word are left out of the dictionary. "Not in the dictionary" gives the impression that these words are simply not considered but quite the opposite is true.

Pretty good game, casual and really fun. I like spamming the words on. just a little sumthin' sumthin' that I wanna suggest— I don't understand the 'steps away' mechanic. Is it length? Letters? Meaning? I have no idea. Please confirm what the steps away thing means.

Hello there! It's a bit complicated, I admit. A "step" means changing a word by replacing, adding or removing a SINGLE LETTER in/to/from it, so that the resulting word is also in the dictionary. A step that brings you one step closer to the secret word is depicted by an arrow. It might help to read the intro text, or to step through the tutorial.
