Braid

Indie puzzle platformer

A braid is a length of hair or other material woven by intertwining three or more strands: She wore her hair in a single braid down her back.

The verb means to create such a weave.

Braid also refers to decorative cord or trim on clothing or upholstery, especially military uniforms.

Figuratively, things that intertwine can braid together: The river braids through the delta.
