Waffle — Wordle English
Waffle, but unlimited. Swap 15 tiles on a grid so every row and column spells a word - par 10. Daily and unlimited, 80+ languages.
How to Play Waffle
Waffle is a daily 5×5 letter-swap crossword in English. Six interlocking 5-letter words — three across, three down — start scrambled across 21 tiles. Your job is to rearrange them, not guess: tap two non-green tiles to swap their positions. Greens are locked where they belong. Yellows are in the right word but the wrong slot. Greys don't belong to either intersecting word. You have 15 swaps; par is 10 — solve in 10 or fewer for all five stars, lose a star per swap over par. Unlike wafflegame.net (English-only, one puzzle a day), Wordle Global runs Waffle in 73 languages with a built-in unlimited variant and per-language archive. Free, no account required.
How Waffle works
Every day a 5×5 waffle is built from six interlocking 5-letter words — three across (top, middle, bottom) and three down (left, centre, right), sharing letters at the nine intersection tiles. The 21 letters are scrambled into a puzzle that's solvable in about 10 swaps of perfect play; you get 15 swaps before the run ends.
Each tile colours itself against the solved grid: green means the letter is correct for the row & column it sits in, yellow means the letter belongs to the word but in a different spot, and grey means it doesn't belong to either of its two intersecting words. Green tiles lock — tap them and nothing happens. Tap any two non-green tiles and they swap.
The large number under the grid is swaps remaining, the same readout wafflegame.net made famous. Solve in 10 or fewer to earn all five stars; each extra swap peels one star off (0 stars at 15 swaps is still a win). The star rating travels with your share text so friends know the effort, not just the result.
Per-language, not English-only. The daily waffle for Spanish, German, Turkish, Finnish, and every other supported corpus is built from that language's native 5-letter daily pool — no translated word lists, no awkward anglicisms. Unlimited mode gives you an endless stream of fresh grids from the same pool; the daily streak tracker ignores unlimited results so you can practice without risk.
Tips & Strategy
Words like CRANE, STARE, or ADIEU test common letters quickly. Knowing which vowels are present narrows options fast.
Green letters stay locked. Yellow letters must move. Gray letters are eliminated. Each guess should use all three clues.
English words often end in -TION, -IGHT, -OUND, -MENT. Other languages have their own patterns — learn them.
Your second word should test new letters, not repeat confirmed ones. Cover as many untested consonants as possible.
Words like CREEK, FLOSS, or APPLE are common traps. If your clues don't add up, consider a repeated letter.
Hard mode forces you to use confirmed clues in every guess. It builds better habits even when you switch back to normal.
