How to play Waffle
- Rearrange the letters into six crossing words by swapping tiles anywhere on the board.
- Use green tiles as fixed positions. A yellow tile belongs to a crossing word, but not in its current position.
- Complete the board within 15 swaps. The standard daily puzzle has a solution using 10 swaps; unused swaps earn stars.
Interpreting yellow tiles at crossings
Yellow does not identify one specific copy
If a letter appears more than once, a yellow tile tells you that the word needs that letter, not that this particular tile must be the copy you move into it. Check the crossing words before swapping.
A yellow corner can refer to either word
At a corner shared by a horizontal and vertical word, yellow may indicate membership in either word. Resolve that ambiguity using the other clues.
Why try Waffle?
Choose Waffle if you prefer arranging a visible board to inventing guesses. Several crossing words make each swap affect more than one possibility.
