How the daily grid works
Swap tiles until all six words are right. Green means right letter, right place; yellow means the letter belongs elsewhere in the same row or column; gray means it is not needed there. Every grid can be solved in 10 swaps, you get 15, and each swap you save is a star. Want more? Unlimited grids has a new one every round, and today's groups hints and word hints are one click away.
Frequently asked questions
How do the hints work?
Each of the six words has four steps: a dictionary clue (with the word itself left out), its first letter, its first and last letters, and finally the word. Open only as many as you need.
Are these hints for the Waffle game?
No. They are for our own daily word grid, which you can play on this site. We never publish another game's answers.
When do the hints change?
At midnight Eastern Time, when the new daily grid comes out. Past grids stay in the archive with their answers.
