What is Word Waffle?

Word Waffle is a bite-sized brain game you can enjoy every day. Each grid hides six real words — three across and three down — but the letters start out scrambled. Your job is to swap tiles into their right places before you run out of moves.

The colours guide you: green means a letter is home, yellow means it belongs somewhere else in that line, and grey means it isn't in that word at all.
