Swap puzzle
Everyone untangles the same six crossings today.
Daily Waffle gives every player the same shuffled grid for the same date. Solve it with swaps left in reserve if you want a stronger spot on that shared board.
Six crossings
Every board is built from six crossing five-letter words pulled from the shared bank, so the grid always resolves into real entries.
Controlled shuffle
The opening layout is created from a real solved board using a short swap chain, which keeps every puzzle within reach of the move budget.
Swap bonus
The more swaps you keep in reserve, the stronger the verified score you can save to the leaderboard.
How it scores
Every swap left in the budget adds bonus value on top of the time-based core score.
Daily saves only compare against this date-specific grid, so every verified run is solving the same crossings and the same scramble.
