A selective broad leaf herbicide. May kill hosta also if it comes in contact with them. Gl

Can you get a closeup photo of the weeds? If we can ID the weed we can give a better answer.

2-4d. Depending on how big your overall space is, might want to try a hose end sprayer. The bioadvance northern and Southern lawns weed killer works way better than the ortho stuff.

Glyphosate should kill it

I think it looks good like that but I’m one of those weirdo nolawners.

If you haven’t ID’d them how do you know you want them gone? You’d rather have poison on the ground than those? Sorry, I’m ’one of those’ who doesn’t get using a cure that’s worse than the affliction. Usually with weeds you can play games with the soil composition to help your desired plants win out and prevent many weeds from recolonizing. Weed ID by photo through an app is a great first step to figure out their niche and what changes will discourage them from coming back after you rip out this bunch. Some weeds stay soft and low, you don’t always HAVE to even get rid of them.

Pick them.

Sometimes mowing works just fine to control unwanted plants. My former lawn didn’t have any horseweed, cheeseweed or prickly lettuce because they don’t tolerate mowing. If you’ve just now started to care for the lawn then mow, fertilize and water properly and it may give up. I checked and it is a short lived perennial. Are these seedlings? If so that may be all you need to do.

No weedkiller in this co text. The risk is far too high.
Mow twice a week for months and that would exhaust the most persistent. Hand weed inside your ‘circle o hostas’.

Just mow it. Grass will beat out broad leaf plants by mowing alone as long as it has adequate sun, water and soil conditions.
Due to grasses evolutionary advantage. Herbicides for lawns are usually unnecessary. There are multi acre parks in my neighborhood full of lush green grass. The only maintenance is a guy in a riding mower and occasional fertilizer. They’re chock full of dandelions right now but the dandelions will be gone in a month or so and it will be a green carpet until fall.

Just a note on your “spreadable” question: for post-emergent weed control, virtually every product is absorbed by the foliage to get into the plant. Because of that, sprays are waaay more effective than any granule or powder you would broadcast spread, which rely on very specific conditions* to have any effectiveness. But for pre-emergent control, a spreadable granule is perfect, because it wants to be on the ground blocking seed germination.
*specifically: foliage uniformly wet but not running, with no precipitation in the forecast so the powder can stick, be dissolved, then be absorbed, without running off uselessly onto the ground.

When you mow, bag it. This prevents the weeds from spreading.
Use weed b gone. It’s safe for lawns, but make sure the container says so.
Aerate and fertilize.

Mow them and learn to live without a mono culture 🙂

Use Trimec herbicide

Pick them out a it’s not going to take as long as you expect. You don’t have to get them all, but grabbing a bunch of them out will help the grass recover and out compete them.

Now them.

There are selective herbicides to kill broadleaf only. Having said that I’d get rid of the grass and let the weed spread, assuming it’s not some invasive species
