Waffle Wordle, often simply called Waffle, is a creative twist on the classic Wordle formula. While Wordle has you guessing a single five-letter word in six tries, Waffle Wordle ups the ante by presenting a 5x5 grid shaped like—you guessed it—a waffle. Your mission? Rearrange the scrambled letters to form six valid five-letter words—three across and three down—within a limited number of moves.
New to Waffle Wordle? Don’t worry—it’s simple to learn but offers plenty of depth. Here’s how to dive in:
When you start, you’ll see a 5x5 grid with letters already filled in, some in the right spots, others scrambled. The grid has gaps (like a waffle’s squares), and your goal is to make three horizontal and three vertical five-letter words.
Unlike Wordle, where you type guesses, Waffle Wordle lets you drag and drop letters to swap their positions. You get 15 moves to rearrange the grid. Green letters are correct and in place, yellow letters are in the word but misplaced, and gray letters don’t belong in that word.
Every swap affects both rows and columns, so you’ll need to strategize carefully. A move that fixes a row might break a column—balance is key.
Finish with moves left over? You’ll earn a star for each unused swap, with a perfect score being five stars (solving in 10 moves or fewer). It’s a satisfying reward for efficiency!
Once you’ve cracked the waffle, share your starry results with friends on social media. It’s a fun way to flex your word skills.
Waffle Wordle takes the best of Wordle and serves it up with a twist that’s as challenging as it is charming. Its waffle-shaped grid, strategic swapping, and daily freshness make it a must-try for word game lovers. Whether you’re a casual player or a puzzle master, this game has something for everyone.
