Waffle Deluxe is one of the weekly puzzle games I never miss every Monday, especially after completing the day’s Wordle. (check today’s clues and answers here).
Like any other word puzzle game, there are days when some words don’t come to mind as quickly as needed to solve the Deluxe version.
For those days, a place to find a quick hint or even a solution can be a lifesaver.
That’s why I created this page—to help fellow Waffle Deluxe lovers who may find themselves stuck or who want to maintain their winning streaks.
I update this page every Monday because Waffle Deluxe resets on Sunday midnight GMT.
To ensure clarity in the hints and answers, I have divided the Waffle grid into two sections: Across and Down grids.
For the Across grids, I use numbers 1, 2, and 3 to refer to rows running from top to bottom—1 being the top row, and 3 being the bottom row.
Similarly, for the Down grids, 1, 2, and 3 refer to columns from left to right—1 being the first column on the left, and 3 being the last column on the right.
Now, let’s get straight to this week’s Waffle Deluxe answers.

Let’s dive right in!
What is Waffle?
The Waffle game is a word game that involves rearranging letters in a grid to form six words within a limited number of moves. The game is similar to Wordle, but with a few key differences:
- Multiple Words: Unlike Wordle, which involves guessing a single five-letter word, Waffle requires players to find six words in a grid of letters
- Color Coding: The game uses a color-coding system to provide clues about the correct placement of letters. Green letters are in the correct position, yellow letters are in the correct word but not in the correct position, and white letters do not belong in that word
- Limited Moves: Players have a maximum of 15 moves to solve the Waffle, with the goal of solving all six words within this limit.
- Grid Structure: The game takes place on a grid with all letters present, unlike Wordle where letters are revealed one by one.
The Waffle game is available online and can be played for free.
Waffle Deluxe
Waffle Deluxe is a weekly, upgraded version of the classic Waffle word game. It features a larger, more complex 7×7 grid that is much harder to solve compared to the standard 5×5 Waffle game. It is available for free to all players, unlike the premium version Waffle Royale which is only available for Amazon Prime members.
I. Larger Grid, Increased Difficulty
The Waffle Deluxe grid is expanded to 7×7 letters, providing a greater challenge for players to uncover the hidden words. Even with the increased number of allowed swaps (25 swaps), completing the Deluxe version within the time limit is a true test for hardcore Waffle fans.
II. Weekly Reset
The Waffle Deluxe game resets every Monday. This weekly schedule makes it easy to integrate the game into a regular routine of word puzzles and challenges.
Having a new Waffle Deluxe puzzle available each week provides a fresh experience for players to look forward to tackling.
It’s the perfect way for dedicated Waffle enthusiasts to keep their skills sharp and enjoy an extra layer of difficulty to the classic game.
Tips for Solving Waffle Puzzles Quickly
Here are quick tips to help you become better in solving any Waffle version in a few moves:
- Leverage Hints provided by the Game’s Color Coding: Pay close attention to the color-coding of the letters. Green letters are in the correct position, yellow letters are in the correct word but not in the right spot, and white letters don’t belong in that word. Use this information to guide your moves.
- Look for Easy, Obvious Words: Scan the grid for any obvious patterns or words that can be formed quickly. This will give you a head start on solving the puzzle.
- Focus on the Corners: The corner letters are often a good place to start, as they can provide clues about the words that need to be formed.
- Manage Your Moves: Keep an eye on the move counter and try to solve the puzzle in as few moves as possible. Efficient use of your moves is key to winning the game.
- Look for Overlapping Letters: Identify letters that can be used in multiple words, as this can help you solve the puzzle faster.
- Practice and Experiment: The more you play Waffle, the better you’ll get at recognizing patterns and solving the puzzles quickly. Don’t be afraid to try different strategies and see what works best for you.
