How to Play the Waffle Game
- 1Look at the grid. There are 6 hidden words — 3 reading across (rows 1, 3, 5) and 3 reading down (columns 1, 3, 5). All the letters are already there, just scrambled.
- 2Tap any letter, then tap another. The two letters swap positions. You can swap any two active letters anywhere on the board — they do not need to be adjacent.
- 3Read the colour clues. Green = correct position. Yellow = right letter, wrong place in this word. Grey = this letter does not belong in this position's word at all.
- 4Solve all 6 words within 20 swaps. The fewer swaps you use, the more stars you earn — 5 stars for solving in 10 swaps or fewer.
Strategy tip
Start with the corner cells — they belong to two words at once (one across and one down). Getting a corner green fixes a letter in both a row and a column simultaneously, giving you the most information per swap.
Waffle Game FAQ
What is the Waffle game?▾
Waffle is a free word puzzle where letters are scrambled across a waffle-shaped grid. You swap letters to form 6 intersecting 5-letter words — 3 across and 3 down — in as few moves as possible.
Is Waffle the same as Wordle?▾
They're related but different. In Wordle you guess one 5-letter word. In Waffle all the letters are already on the board — you just need to rearrange them. Waffle is more like a sliding puzzle than a guessing game.
How many swaps do I get?▾
You get 20 swaps. A perfect game can always be solved in 10 swaps or fewer, so you have plenty of room to experiment. The star rating rewards efficiency: 5 stars for ≤10 swaps, down to 1 star for using all 20.
Can I play Waffle more than once a day?▾
Yes — every time you tap "New Game" you get a completely fresh puzzle. There is no daily limit. Play as many as you want.
