Waffle: Daily Word Game
Word Waffle is a puzzle game inspired by Wordle. The object of the game is to form six words correctly using no more than 15 moves. All letters are arranged randomly on the game board in the form of a waffle. You must move the letters to other places to get valid 5 letter words.
How to play Waffle?
Rearrange the letters until every row and column spells a real word — before you run out of moves.
Swap the letters
Drag one tile onto another to trade places. Build words both across and down on the waffle.
Read the colors
After every swap the tiles recolor and hint how close you are — green, yellow and gray guide your next move.
Turn it all green
Finish all six words so every tile is green — within your move budget.
Game Modes
Play your way — a shared daily challenge, or endless practice across three sizes.
Daily Waffle
One fresh waffle for everyone, every day. Build your streak across 3×3, 5×5 and 7×7.
Unlimited Waffle
Never wait for tomorrow — generate a brand-new puzzle whenever you like and practice as long as you want.
Tips & Strategy
A few habits that help you solve more waffles with fewer moves.
Lock in the greens first. Correct letters never move, so plan every swap around them.
Prioritise the corners. Corner tiles belong to two words at once — fixing them unlocks the most.
Yellow means close. A yellow letter is in that word but the wrong cell — slide it along the line.
Mind the counter. Every swap costs a move; when only a few remain it turns red.
Repeated letters are tricky. If a letter is already green and the same letter appears yellow elsewhere in the word, the yellow may mean the word needs that letter again - or it may just be pointing back at the green one.
Corner and center tiles belong to two words at once. A yellow or gray tile there can refer to just one of the two crossing words - or to both, so check the across and the down word.
