Waffle
Waffle arranges letters in a grid shaped like a waffle. All the right letters are there but in the wrong places, so swap them until every word across and down is correct.

How Waffle works
Look at the colors. Green letters are already in the right spot. Yellow letters belong in that row or column but somewhere else. Gray letters belong in a different word.
Swap two letters. Drag one letter onto another to switch them. Each switch uses one of your fifteen swaps.
Watch the corners. Letters where words cross belong to two words, so their color tells you about both.
Fix every word. Solve the grid before your swaps run out. Each swap you have left is worth one star.
The game, not Waffle House
Search for Waffle and you mostly get the restaurant chain and recipes. The Waffle game at wafflegame.net, made by jessian and published by Waffle Studio Ltd, is a word grid shaped like a waffle with six words, three across and three down. All the letters are there, just in the wrong places.
Scoring and stars
You have 15 swaps. The puzzle can always be solved in 10, so a perfect game leaves 5 swaps unused, and you get one star for each swap left. Green means a letter is in the right place. Yellow means it belongs in that word, but in another spot.
- Solve the corners first. Corner letters sit in two words, so a green corner helps both.
- Do not swap just to see what happens. Every swap counts.
- Work out a whole word before you move a letter into it.
Deluxe Waffle and the archive
A bigger Deluxe Waffle comes out every week, and there is an archive of past puzzles. The daily game resets at midnight GMT, or at your local midnight if you change it in Settings.

Common Waffle questions
How many swaps do you get in Waffle?
Fifteen. Every puzzle can be solved in ten, which earns the full five stars.
When does Waffle reset?
At midnight GMT by default. You can switch to midnight in your own time zone in the settings.
Can I play old Waffle puzzles?
Yes. The Waffle Archive has past puzzles, and they do not change your normal stats.
Are Waffle answers on Megadle?
No. Fix the letters that can only go one place first, and the rest of the swaps get easier.
Waffle strategy
- Solve the words in your head first, then swap. Guessing with swaps burns stars fast.
- Every Waffle can be solved in ten swaps. Aim for that by making each swap put two letters in place where you can.
- A yellow letter in a corner can belong to either word that crosses there, so check both before moving it.
- Green tiles never move, so plan swaps around them first.
