What is Waffle?

Waffle is a unique word puzzle game where players must rearrange letters in a waffle-shaped grid to form 6 valid words (3 horizontal and 3 vertical). Unlike Wordle, you start with all the letters already placed - you just need to swap them into the correct positions.

Waffle Game Rules

  1. Objective: Rearrange letters to form 6 valid five-letter words
  2. Grid Layout: 5×5 grid in a waffle pattern with 6 words (3 across, 3 down)
  3. Swap Mechanic: Drag and drop letters to swap their positions
  4. 15 Swaps: You have 15 swaps to solve the puzzle
  5. Color Hints:
    • 🟩 Green — Letter is in the correct position
    • 🟨 Yellow — Letter belongs in this word but wrong position
    • ⬜ White — Letter belongs in a different word
  6. Daily Puzzle: All players solve the same waffle each day

How To Play Waffle

The game starts with a 5×5 grid where letters are already placed but scrambled.

Example Starting Grid

P L A N T
E     O  
A R T L E
R     I  
T R A I N

Goal: Swap letters so all 6 words are valid

Strategy Steps

  1. Identify Green Letters: These are already correct - don't move them
  2. Focus on Yellow Letters: These need to be moved within their word
  3. Move White Letters: These need to go to different words entirely
  4. Work Systematically: Solve one word at a time when possible

Waffle Strategy Tips

  1. Start with Greens: Identify which letters are already correct
  2. Common Words First: Look for obvious common words
  3. Intersections Matter: Remember that corner and middle letters are shared between words
  4. Yellow Priority: Focus on moving yellow letters first - they're in the right word
  5. Count Your Swaps: Try to solve it in as few swaps as possible for a better score
  6. Think Ahead: Plan multiple swaps before executing

Scoring System

  • 5 Stars: Solved in 10 or fewer swaps
  • 4 Stars: Solved in 11-12 swaps
  • 3 Stars: Solved in 13-14 swaps
  • 2 Stars: Solved in 15 swaps
  • 1 Star: Solved with bonus swaps (after 15)

Common Patterns

Corner Letters

  • Shared by 2 words (1 horizontal, 1 vertical)
  • Critical for solving both words

Center Letters

  • Shared by 2 words
  • Often the key to unlocking the puzzle

Edge Letters

  • Only belong to 1 word
  • Easier to place correctly
