Get your waffle fix with all the hints, full answers, and cheeky commentary from the August 7, 2025 Waffle puzzle. Six words, one grid—let’s swap smart and floss that vocabulary!
Puzzle Vibe & How It Works
If you’re new to Waffle—here’s the tea: You get a grid shaped like (you guessed it) a waffle, with six hidden 5-letter words yanging across and down. You’ve got 15 swaps to spot them all. Green tiles say, “Chill, I’m set.” Yellow means “I’m in the word, but move me.” Grey? Yeah, nix that letter in this word. Nail it in 10 moves, and you’re a five-star genius; take all 15, and… at least you tried, fam.

What This Means in Real Time
- AORTA – The major artery feeling the pressure? That’s your grid flex.
- RIVEN – Split or torn—maybe how your brain feels mid-puzzle.
- LANKY – Tall and thin Person.
- AURAL – It’s all about hearing… or rather ear-ling your way through.
- RAVEN – Sleek, dark, mysterious—just like that one grid letter that refuses to fit.
- ANNOY – Accurate. Because why is that last swap so stubborn?

Final Flex Move
Day crushed? Show off your five-star flex if you did it in ten moves. Didn’t get there? No shame—learn those patterns, like common letter pairs (e.g. “AN,” “RA”), and you’ll waffle-slay tomorrow.
