What is Waffle?
Waffle takes the coloured-letter idea from Wordle and turns it into a sliding puzzle. The board is shaped like a waffle: three words across and three words down, sharing their letters where they cross. All the right letters are already on the board, just in the wrong places, and green, yellow and grey colours tell you which ones are correct, which belong somewhere else in that word, and which don't belong there at all. Your job is to swap pairs of letters until every word is complete. The catch is that you only have a limited number of swaps, and the stars you earn depend on how many you have left at the end. That makes it a game of planning rather than guessing: one careless swap can cost you a star. Waffle was created by James Robinson in Portsmouth, England, and has grown into one of the most-played daily word puzzles. It suits Wordle fans who want something a little more strategic.
How to play
- Tap two letters to swap them. Green means right place, yellow means right word but wrong place.
- Complete all six words: three across and three down.
- Finish with swaps to spare. Each leftover swap is a star.
