Waffle

A 5 × 5 waffle of letters hides three words across and three words down, all scrambled. Swap any two tiles to put them back: green is home, amber belongs in that row or column, grey belongs somewhere else. Fifteen swaps, a daily waffle for everyone, and random ones to send a friend.

How to play

  1. 1

    Swap two tiles

    Tap a letter, then tap another to swap them. Green tiles are already home and stay put.

  2. 2

    Read the colors

    Amber means the letter belongs in that row or column word, just not in that spot. Grey means it belongs elsewhere.

  3. 3

    Mind the corners

    Corner and center tiles sit in two words at once, so amber there can point across or down.

  4. 4

    Save your swaps

    You get 15 swaps. Every swap you have left when all six words are green earns you a star.
