Get today’s Waffle hints and answers for August 23, 2025! See solved words, helpful tips, and today’s complete grid—explained in a quick, friendly style for puzzle fans.
If you’re new here, Waffle is like Wordle’s artsy cousin. Instead of just guessing one word, you’re sliding letters around in a waffle-shaped grid to form six five-letter words—three across and three down.
You get a set number of swaps (usually 15), and every move you don’t use turns into a shiny star. It’s simple but super addictive.
Daily Waffle #1310 gave us a nice mix of everyday words, from sharp emotions to cozy winter shelters. If you were scratching your head this morning, don’t worry—I’ve got both the hints and the answers for you.

Solved Solution: Daily Waffle #1310
Today’s Waffle puzzle was a treat for word game fans! Here are the winning words:
Horizontal Answers (Across)
- SPITE
- IGLOO
- TORCH
Vertical Answers (Down)
- SKIRT
- IDLER
- EPOCH
All these words were formed by swapping letters on the grid until every row and column made a correct five-letter word.
How Waffle Works (Simple Rules)
- The puzzle starts with 21 tiles, all filled with letters.
- Six words are hidden—three across, three down.
- The goal: move (swap) tiles so each row and column spells a valid word.
- Colors guide you:
- Green: Letter’s perfect!
- Yellow: Letter’s good but needs to move.
- Gray: Letter’s not in this word.
- You get up to 15 swaps, but true masters finish in 10 for a perfect five-star score.
- Each swap used reduces your stars, so plan ahead!
Solving Strategy
- Corners First: Since corner tiles are part of two words, optimizing them early helps everything come together faster.
- Color Clues: Use yellow and green feedback after each swap. Greens are good—leave them alone!
- Fewer Swaps, More Stars: Only swap when totally necessary. Most grids can be done in 10–12 moves if you think ahead.
Why This Waffle Was Fun
- “IGLOO” and “IDLER” make for some sneaky swaps due to duplicate letters.
- “EPOCH” brought the challenge with less common letter combinations.
- The puzzle can be solved in just a few swaps if you plan every move.
Today’s Waffle grid tested your vocabulary and logic in equal measure. Whether you’re a streak chaser or just starting out, solving each word unlocks a satisfying win. Finish faster, build your streak, and show off your star count—tomorrow’s Waffle will be a brand-new challenge!
